4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 dried bay leaf
3 whole cloves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
3 strips orange zest, (2 to 3 inches each), plus 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, crushed with the flat side of a large knife
1 celery stalk, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1/2 cup)

Time 10h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 cups red wine
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 carrots, roughly chopped
2 onions, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 strips bacon, cut into lardons
4 stems fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Macaronade, recipe follows, for serving
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small cubes, plus more for greasing
8 ounces macaroni
Kosher salt
1/2 cup shredded Swiss or gruyere cheese
1/2 cup sauce from Daube a la Provencale
1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Marinate the beef in the red wine, vinegar, carrots and 1/2 of the onions for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Remove the beef from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and dry gently with paper towels. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a heavy Dutch oven over medium heat and cook the bacon lardons until crisp. Remove the bacon and set aside, reserving the fat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the bacon fat in the Dutch oven and brown the beef on all sides. Once the beef is browned, add in the reserved marinade, bacon lardons, the remaining onions, rosemary, thyme, garlic and bay leaves. Add 2 cups water and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then cover tightly and cook in the oven for 3 to 4 hours. Check the daube every hour and add a little more water if needed. Remove the herbs and serve the daube (be sure to reserve the sauce) with the Macaronade.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a gratin dish.
  • Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package's instructions for al dente. Drain and toss with the cheese and daube sauce. Place the pasta in the gratin dish, and top with the breadcrumbs, sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with the butter. Bake 15 minutes and serve with the daube.

DAUBE A LA PROVENCALE



Daube a La Provencale image

This is Richard Olney's take on the classic. The pig's foot is what helps the sauce turn to jelly when it's cold. The flavors are quite amazingly rich, but if you are really good about skimming, the finished Daube will be quite free of fattiness or greasiness. It's an all day job, or one you begin the night before a day when you can stay home and tend to a slow cooking pot. If you have a good butcher, he (or she) can prep and trim the shanks and the pork bits. And good quality canned diced tomatoes work just fine. Do use a good drinkable red wine and make sure to have some extra for the cook. Leftover daube is traditionally used in "Raiola" a Provencal ravioli.

Time 11h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/4 lb pork fatback, cut into dice
1/2 teaspoon salt, coarse
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon herbes de provence
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, fresh, chopped
4 lbs beef shank, boneless, cut into large cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups dry red wine
1 pig's foot, cut in two (about one pound)
5 ounces lean salt pork, in a slice cut into 1/2 inch strips
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 ounce dried cepes
2 cups tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced, with juice
2/3 cup black olives, pitted
salt
bouquet garni, large, including a generous strip of orange peel
1/2 cup cognac (or Marc de Provence)
2 cups broth (or water or a combo(this amount is approximate, it is the amount needed to nearly cover all the ingr)
1 lb macaroni

Steps:

  • To prepare the lardons:.
  • In a mortar, pound together the salt, garlic and herbs to form a paste. Mix in the parsley, add the lardons and mix till each lardon is well coated with the mixture.
  • Using a small, sharp pointed knife, pierce each piece of beef two to three times, with the grain, and force a lardon into each slit. Save any leftover lardons and seasoning.
  • For the Daube:.
  • Put the meat into a non-reactive bowl, add the olive oil and red wine and marinate at room temperature for about 4 hours, turning the meat around in the marinade several times.
  • In a saucepan, place the pig's foot, the pork rind and the salt pork and water to cover. Bring to a boil, drain and rinse well. Cut the pork rind into one inch squares.
  • In a large bowl, mix the pork rind, salt pork pieces, carrots, onions, garlic, cepes, tomatoes and olives.
  • Put a layer of this pork rind mixture in the bottom of a daubiere or large heavy pot. Place the pig's foot halves on top and finish the layer with pieces of the larded beef. Sprinkle to taste with salt.
  • Continue layering the pork rind mixture and the meat pieces, burying the bouquet garni in the middle and finishing with the pork rind mixture.
  • Pour over the remaining red wine marinade from the bowl, the marc (or cognac) and almost enough broth and/or water to cover the contents of the pot.
  • Cover and place over medium low heat. Bring to a boil (this will take about an hour)and adjust the heat to very low to maintain only a murmur at the liquid's surface for about 6 hours. Skim off, as well as possible, all the fat.
  • Note: If, at the end of skimming, you spoon up juices with the fat, empty the skimming spoon into a bowland refrigerate it; when the fat solidifies, it can be lifted off and discarded and the jellied juices returned to the leftover Daube.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil add the macaroni and cook, 10 to 15 minutes for most sorts of macaroni. Drain well and empty into a gratin dish. Spoon some of the Daube's cooking juices over the macaroni and put it into the oven for a few minutes until the juices are bubbling. Serve the Daube directly from the cooking vessel accompanied by the macaroni.

PROVENçAL WHITE WINE BEEF DAUBE



Provençal White Wine Beef Daube image

A classic Provençal beef daube, or slow-baked stew, is made with quantities of red wine, like the recipes that Julia Child often made in her house in Provence, La Pitchoune. Patricia Wells, a former New York Times food writer in Paris, also lives part-time in the South of France, and she has adapted the daube for white wine, which plays a more subtle part in flavoring the stew. The large amount of liquid makes a tender braise that can also be served as a sauce for pasta: penne, gnocchi and long noodles like tagliatelle are familiar in the region, which borders Italy on the east.

Time 5h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons brandy, eau-de-vie or Cognac
6 pounds boneless stewing beef, such as round, shin, blade or chuck, cut into 3-ounce chunks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large onions, thinly sliced
4 carrots, peeled and thickly sliced
4 ounces mushrooms, trimmed and thickly sliced
1 head garlic, cloves separated, smashed and peeled
Grated zest of 1 orange, more for garnish (optional)
2 ripe tomatoes, chopped, or 1 cup canned tomato purée
2 bottles white wine
1 bouquet garni (1 small bunch fresh parsley, 6 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme and 2 bay leaves, tied together or bundled in cheesecloth)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Small pasta, such as orzo, mezze penne or conchiglie, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, the Cognac, the beef and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cover and set aside to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 325 degrees.
  • In a wide, heavy casserole with a tight-fitting lid, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add onions, carrots, mushrooms, garlic, orange zest and 2 big pinches salt; stir well to coat and heat through. Reduce heat to low, cover, and sweat (cook without browning) for 8 to 10 minutes, until onions and garlic are softened.
  • Add beef and its marinade, tomatoes, wine, bouquet garni and peppercorns. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and bake in the center of the oven until meat is ultratender, 3 to 4 hours. There is no need to stir or baste, but check from time to time to make sure the liquid is at a very gentle simmer; boiling will make the meat tough.
  • When the stew is ready, adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Or, refrigerate overnight or longer, skim any hardened fat from the top, and reheat before serving.
  • Serve over hot pasta, garnished with parsley and orange zest, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef for the best flavor. Look for chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs.
  • Brown the beef in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to accommodate all of the ingredients.

  • Braise the daube de boeuf for at least 2 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the daube de boeuf with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

Conclusion:
