Categories Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

25g butter
2 large onions, sliced into rings
6 garlic cloves, halved
3 tbsp plain flour
600g piece beef skirt or slices of shin, cut into large chunks
2 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
3 bay leaves
400ml red wine
1 tbsp tomato purée
300ml strong beef stock
250g mushrooms, halved (we used small Portobello mushrooms)
chopped parsley, to serve (optional)

Steps:

Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. In a large, heavy-based flameproof casserole dish with a lid, melt the butter over a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cook for 10 mins until starting to brown, then transfer to a small plate.
Put the flour in a large plastic food bag with plenty of black pepper. Add half the beef, shake to coat, then remove, leaving some flour in the bag. Add the rest of the beef and shake to coat in the remaining flour.
Heat the oil in the same casserole dish you cooked the onions in (there's no need to clean it first). Add the beef and bay leaves, and fry until the meat is browned all over. Pour in the wine and return the onions to the dish. Add the tomato purée and stock, stir and return to a simmer. Cover with the lid and put in the oven to stew for 1 hr.
After 1 hr, add the mushrooms and return to the oven for another hour. Taste the meat - if it's tender, remove from the oven. If it's still a little firm, cook for 30 mins more and test again. Serve scattered with parsley, if you like.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, blade roast, and brisket are all good options for beef stew. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
Brown the beef before stewing: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to develop the stew's rich color.
Use a variety of vegetables: Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic stew vegetables. You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or turnips.
Use a good quality red wine: The wine you use in your stew will make a big difference in the flavor. Choose a red wine that you enjoy drinking.
Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours: The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the beef will become and the more flavorful the broth will be.
Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked red wine beef stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious beef stew that your family and friends will love.
