How to make red wine stewed beef

Beef is the best among all meats. There are many ways to eat beef. It is high in crude fiber and low in fat, making it very suitable for modern people. Making beef into steak is a more high-end way of eating, such as braised beef, curry beef, and beef jerky. Beef stew is also a delicious dish, among which beef stewed with red wine is a more common method. The following introduces the method of stewing beef with red wine.

How to make red wine stewed beef:

Main ingredient: beef ribs. Accessories: beef stock, carrots, bacon, onions, red wine. Seasoning: shiitake mushrooms, tomato sauce, flour, salt, garlic, pepper, thyme, bay leaves, etc.

1. Slice the bacon and cook it in boiling water for about 8-10 minutes. Drain and fry the bacon in a frying pan until golden brown and the fat is fried out.

2. Cut the beef ribs into pieces and wipe off the blood on the surface with a paper towel. ps: If the surface of the beef is wet, it will not be able to be browned when fried later.

3. After taking out the bacon, leave the bacon oil in the pan, put the beef chunks into the pan and fry until the surface is golden brown. If there is a lot of beef, put it in batches. ps: When frying, remember to turn the beef over and fry until each side is golden brown before taking it out.

4. Take out the beef, add the chopped carrots and onions into the remaining oil and soup in the pot, and fry the onions until soft and fragrant.

5. Place carrots and onions on the bottom of the cast iron pan, then add beef. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then sprinkle a little flour on the surface of the beef and turn it over to make sure the flour is evenly coated on the beef.

6. Preheat the oven to 235 degrees and uncover the cast iron pot. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. The beef has a little crispy crust on the surface.

7. Then add mashed garlic, red wine, broth, herbs, tomato sauce, bay leaves, pepper, etc., stir well, and heat over low heat until boiling. Then put it in the oven and bake it at 160 degrees with the cover on for about 2 hours. ps: After roasting, check the beef. If you can easily pierce it with chopsticks, it is done.

8. Next, separate the soup, beef and vegetables. At the same time, wash the shiitake mushrooms, dry them and cut them into pieces. Add a little butter to the pan and fry for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms turn light brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

9. Put the fried mushrooms together with the main dish. Then heat the separated soup and thicken it (you can add a little starch to help thicken it). Then add salt to season, and finally mix the soup and vegetables. Heat on the fire for a few minutes.

Tips for red wine beef stew:

1. It is recommended to add 1/5 bottle of red wine to a small pot of beef.

2. Do not add salt when marinating the meat. Just sprinkle black pepper and add a little red wine. Add salt after the beef is cooked until it is soft.

3. When stewing, you can also use a casserole with good constant temperature effect. Office workers can also use a pressure cooker to save stewing time. Press the valve for 25 minutes to half an hour, then simmer for 10 minutes, and then use a wok to add salt to collect the sauce. The taste of the beef is the same as that of slow-cooked beef.
