Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS & RED WINE SAUCE



Beef Tenderloin With Caramelized Onions & Red Wine Sauce image

If you really want to impress your dinner guests for the holidays or any special occasion, I highly recommend this recipe. The meat is extremely tender and flavorful and the sauce is out of this world. Note: It is very important to allow the meat to come to room temperature before cooking. It is also important that you allow it to rest for 15 minutes after it has cooked. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 -3 lbs beef tenderloin, room temperature
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
kosher salt
pepper
1/4 cup butter
1 cup onion, julienne cut
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup red wine
1 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Brush the beef with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder evenly and generously season salt and pepper. Set the beef on a rack placed on top of a foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast the beef until a thermometer reads 120 degrees for rare, about 25 minutes; 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 30 minutes; 140 degrees for medium, about 40 minutes. Wrap the beef in the foil and allow it to rest for 15 minutes (the temperature will rise as the beef rests).
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sugar. Cook and stir occasionally until brown, at least 10 minutes (I caramelized mine for 40 minutes). Add the wine and broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the liquid is reduced to 1 c, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the rosemary. Stir in the remaining 2 tbsp butter.
  • Unwrap the tenderloin and set it on a carving board. Pour all of the accumulated juices from the tenderloin into the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Slice the meat and serve it with the sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by ratherbeswimmin

Categories     Meat

Time 2h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lbs beef stew meat, preferably chuck, trimmed of excess fat
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 cups red wine, such as Pinot Noir
1/2 cup low sodium beef broth or 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste

Steps:

  • Cut the meat into 2-inch pieces, rinse, and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Coat the bottom of a 5- to 7-quart Dutch oven with a thin film of the oil and set pot over med-high heat.
  • When oil shimmers, add enough meat to cover bottom in 1 layer.
  • Cook, without stirring, until meat lifts easily from pot with tongs and is well browned on bottom, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn and brown on the other side, about 5 minutes more.
  • Transfer meat to a plate and continue with remaining meat, adding more oil to pot on between batches as needed.
  • When last batch of meat has been removed, add the butter to the pot, then the onions and a good pinch of salt, and cook, stirring often, until onions are softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Decrease heat to low and sprinkle the sugar over the onions.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are limp and golden, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and thyme and increase heat to high.
  • Stir 1 minute, then pour in the wine and broth and let liquid come to a boil.
  • Stir in the tomato paste.
  • Return meat and any accumulate juices to pot, let liquid come to a boil, then decrease heat, cover, and simmer until meat is tender when pierced and sauce is thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Remove from heat and let stand 5-10 minutes before serving to settle flavors.

Tips:

  • Choose a Good Quality Red Wine: Use a dry or semi-dry red wine that you enjoy drinking, as the flavor of the wine will be imparted to the dish.
  • Marinate the Beef: Marinating the beef in the red wine and herbs helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Brown the Beef: Browning the beef in a hot pan before adding the other ingredients helps to develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
  • Cook the Beef Low and Slow: Braising the beef in the red wine sauce allows the flavors to meld and the beef to become fall-apart tender.
  • Don't Overcook the Onions: Melting onions add a delicious sweetness to the dish, but be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
  • Serve with Mashed Potatoes or Rice: Beef in red wine with melting onions is a hearty and flavorful dish that pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Conclusion:

Beef in red wine with melting onions is a classic French dish that is sure to impress your dinner guests. The combination of the rich, savory red wine sauce, the tender beef, and the sweet, caramelized onions is simply divine. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home.
