Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pounds chuck roast, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 cups dry red wine, such as Pinot Noir or Syrah
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
2 bay leaves
4 sprigs thyme
10 medium carrots (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
1 1/2 pounds baby white or red potatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Season the meat with salt and pepper, place in a large bowl, and toss with the flour.
  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or wide-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Cook the meat, in batches, until well browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes, transferring the pieces to a plate as they are browned. Pour off and discard any drippings from the pot.
  • Add the tomato paste, wine, broth, onion, bay leaves, thyme, and 2 of the carrots and bring to a boil. Return the meat and any juices back to the pot (the meat should be barely submerged in liquid), cover, and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 hours.
  • Using tongs, remove and discard the cooked vegetables. Add the potatoes and the remaining 8 carrots to the pot, cover, and return to the oven. Cook until the meat and vegetables are fork-tender, about 1 hour more.

RED WINE-MARINATED BEEF STEW



Red Wine-Marinated Beef Stew image

A twist on traditional beef stew--stew meat that is so tender even the most finicky eaters will love! (i.e. kids that don't like meat that is tough to chew...like mine.) The "secret" is the acid from the red wine. It helps to break down the collagen, naturally tenderizing the meat and releasing great flavor! The longer you can marinate the better but a minimum of 3 hours is essential. Enjoy with a good crusty bread and a glass of red!

Time 6h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds beef stew meat, cubed
3 cups dry red wine
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
6 slices center-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
6 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
1 stalk celery, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, peeled, or more to taste
4 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 (15 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried sage
¾ cup sliced portobello mushrooms
4 tablespoons tapioca flour, or as needed
4 tablespoons cold water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Marinate the beef in red wine in a 9x13-inch glass baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, turning the meat over halfway through marinating time.
  • Remove beef from the wine and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the wine.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season beef on all sides with salt and pepper. Brown in the hot oil, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove meat, drain the pot, and add bacon. Cook until semi-crisp and browned, about 5 minutes. Drain bacon grease but do not wipe the pot clean.
  • Drizzle remaining oil into the pot and add potatoes, carrots, green beans, celery, and garlic. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Pour reserved wine, beef broth, and tomatoes into the pot, scraping up the browned bits that cling to the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add rosemary and sage. Return the meat to the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and let simmer until meat is very tender and no longer pink, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, adding mushrooms during the last 1 hour of cooking time.
  • Combine tapioca and cold water in a bowl. Mix into the stew to thicken as desired.

SLOW-COOKED RED WINE BEEF STEW



Slow-Cooked Red Wine Beef Stew image

Red wine and beef are such an elemental combination that it's worth mastering the technique for a great stew: Sauté the ingredients quickly to caramelize and reduce, then cook through very slowly (preferably in a low oven, but see our Notes on how to cook in the slow cooker or pressure cooker). You can use any wine you like, since it will be cooked for a long time: the alcohol, acidity and fruitiness that make wine lovely in the glass are not so nice in the bowl; they have to be tamed by simmering. But the tangy, syrupy taste they leave behind is an ideal counterpoint to red meat. Celery is optional because some don't like it, but note that it's not eaten: It just provides a green flavor note alongside the sweet carrots and earthy potatoes.

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 5h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 1/2 to 4 pounds well-marbled beef stew meat, preferably chuck, cut into large (2-by-2 1/2-inch) pieces
2 large sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
About a dozen juniper berries
1/2 bottle red wine (not sweet)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves (1 smashed and peeled, 3 minced)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 stalks celery (optional)
3 large carrots
2 onions
1 large, starchy potato, such as Idaho
3 ounces pancetta (or French ventrèche), diced small (optional)
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons tomato paste
Bouquet garni (2 sprigs fresh thyme, 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or parsley, 2 bay leaves, 6 juniper berries, 4 whole cloves, 1 teaspoon dried orange peel, wrapped in cheesecloth and tied)
1/2 bottle red wine
Chicken broth, as needed
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves (or use additional parsley), for garnish

Steps:

  • Marinate the meat: In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Mix well and refrigerate in the bowl or a thick sealable plastic bag for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.
  • When ready to cook, strain off the marinade and reserve for cooking. Drain meat on paper towels and pat until very dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place a large, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid on the stove and rub the bottom with the smashed, peeled clove of garlic, until coated with the garlic's oils. Discard garlic.
  • Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and cook over medium heat until shimmering. Add half the meat and brown gently on both sides while preparing the vegetables. There's no need for a hard crust to form; a little browning is all that's required. When browned, remove meat to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and meat. Return all the browned, drained meat to the pot.
  • Meanwhile, cut the celery (if using) and carrots into large chunks. Peel and chop the onions. Peel and dice the potato.
  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. In a separate skillet, heat pancetta (if using) and olive oil over low heat. Cook gently until the fat renders. When the pork fat is running, add onions, celery, carrot, onion and minced garlic. (If not using pancetta, simply heat olive oil and add vegetables and garlic.) Cook gently, stirring, until softened and golden, about 10 minutes. Raise the heat, add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant and sizzling. Add the bouquet garni, reserved marinade and potato. Let bubble fiercely for 5 to 10 minutes, until liquid is thickened and syrupy. Add mixture, once cooked, to the pot with the meat.
  • Pour in the wine and, if needed, enough broth to just cover the ingredients. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover tightly and bake 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is soft enough to eat with a spoon and the sauce is rich and thick. After 4 hours, if liquid seems thin, uncover pot for the rest of the cooking.
  • When done, let cool slightly, uncovered. Remove and discard celery (if using) and bouquet garni. To thicken the stew, use a fork to mash some of the carrots and potatoes into the liquid; or, remove and purée them, then add back in. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and lots of freshly ground pepper.
  • Reheat and serve immediately, or let cool and refrigerate. Serve within 3 days; the flavor will only improve. Garnish each serving with a sprinkling of chopped thyme and parsley.

BOEUF à LA NIçOISE: BRAISED BEEF STEW WITH RED WINE, TOMATO, OLIVES, AND BUTTERED NOODLES



Boeuf à la Niçoise: Braised Beef Stew with Red Wine, Tomato, Olives, and Buttered Noodles image

This robust stew is best in late winter or early spring, when there's still a lingering chill in the air. Tomatoes, olives, and red wine, hallmark flavors of the stew's southern-French provenance, make up its flavorful saucy base. Traditionally, it's made with a chuck roast, but I find that boneless short ribs yield a more succulent result. The tomatoes help thicken the sauce and add a deep sweetness. This time of year, rather than using mealy, out-of-season tomatoes, I opt for canned San Marzanos. If you can't find San Marzanos, look for another brand of Italian canned tomatoes.

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 pounds boneless beef short ribs, cut into 1 1/2-to-2-inch chunks
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves, plus 6 sprigs
6 cloves garlic, smashed
Zest of 1/2 orange
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced fennel
1/2 cup diced carrot
1 bay leaf, preferably fresh
3/4 cup San Marzano canned tomatoes, crushed slightly, plus 8 whole San Marzano tomatoes
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 1/2 cups hearty red wine, preferably southern French
4 cups beef or veal stock
1/2 cup pitted Niçoise olives
3/4 pound pappardelle
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces young spinach, cleaned
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Toss the beef in a large bowl with the cracked black pepper, 1 tablespoon thyme, the garlic, and the orange zest. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Take the meat out of the refrigerator 45 minutes before cooking. After 15 minutes, season it on all sides with 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons salt. Reserve the garlic and orange zest.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven over high heat for 3 minutes. Pour in 3 tablespoons olive oil and wait a minute or two, until the pan is very hot and almost smoking. Place the meat in the pan, being careful not to crowd it. (You will need to do this in batches.) Sear the meat until well browned on all sides. (This step is very important and should not be rushed; it will probably take 15 to 20 minutes.) As the batches of meat are browned, remove them to a baking sheet.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and add the onion, fennel, and carrot. Stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up all the crusty bits left in the pan. Add the thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and the reserved garlic and orange zest. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables are caramelized.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly to coat the vegetables. Add the balsamic vinegar and reduce to a glaze. Pour in the red wine and reduce it by half (about 5 minutes). Add the beef stock and bring to a boil.
  • Add the meat to the pot. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and a tight-fitting lid if you have one. Braise in the oven about 3 hours.
  • While the meat is in the oven, cut the whole tomatoes in half lengthwise. Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a baking dish in which the tomatoes will fit snugly. Place the tomatoes in the dish, cut side up, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme. Roast the tomatoes in the same oven for 1 1/2 hours, until they are shriveled and slightly caramelized on top.
  • To check the meat for doneness, carefully remove the lid and foil, being aware of the hot steam. Spoon a piece of meat out of the pan and press it with your thumb or a spoon. If it's done, it will yield easily and almost fall apart. If it's not super-tender, cover again and return the pot to the oven. When in doubt, taste it!
  • Take the pan out of the oven and uncover completely. Using a ladle, skim off the fat that rises to the top.
  • Turn the oven up to 400°F.
  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil.
  • Ladle half the braising juices into a large sauté pan and add the olives. Return the meat to the oven for 15 minutes to caramelize.
  • When the water boils, cook the pasta to al dente and drain. Transfer the noodles to the pan with the braising juices and olives. Over medium-low heat, toss the noodles in the juices to coat well and bring to a low simmer. Stir in the butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Quickly add the spinach and a cup chopped parsley, and toss for just 1 minute, until the spinach begins to wilt.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large warm platter. Spoon the meat and its juices over the noodles. Tuck the roasted tomatoes in and around the noodles and meat. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped parsley over the top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef for the best flavor. Look for chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs.
  • Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot for even heat distribution.
  • Add vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions to the stew for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Use a good quality red wine for the stew. A dry red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot works well.
  • Add black olives to the stew for a briny, salty flavor.
  • Season the stew with salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Serve the stew over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.

Conclusion:

This beef stew with black olives and red wine is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The beef is tender and fall-apart, the vegetables are cooked to perfection, and the broth is rich and savory. The black olives add a briny, salty flavor that complements the beef and red wine. This stew is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
