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.

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.

DECADENT CROCK POT BEEF STEW WITH RED WINE



Decadent Crock Pot Beef Stew With Red Wine image

I love a really rich stew and this one was a recipe that I took ideas from other recipes and made my own. Having the crock pot means I can prepare it all the night before and then throw it all together and leave to cook the next morning. You could use any veggies you like in it and even add more (beans, peas etc). The hardest part of the recipe is cutting up the veggies. I hope you enjoy.

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 6h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp English mustard powder
2 tbsp chopped rosemary
1 tsp celery seeds
15g dried porcini mushrooms
4 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
1.6kg beef topside, cut into 12 slices
600ml hot beef stock
1 large carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
1 large onion, roughly chopped
2 sticks celery, roughly chopped
2 tbsp tomato purée
200ml red wine
1 tbsp cornflour (optional)

Steps:

  • Crush the peppercorns with the mustard, rosemary, celery seeds and a little salt using a pestle and mortar. Blitz the mushrooms to a fine powder in a food processor, then stir them in with 2 tbsp oil and rub all over the beef. Cover and chill for at least 1 hr, but overnight is best.
  • Heat the slow cooker to high and pour in the stock. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan and brown the beef, then put in the slow cooker skin-side up. Fry the carrot, onion and celery in the same pan over a medium-high heat for about 10 mins. Stir in the tomato purée and wine, scraping the bits off the bottom of the pan, then add this to the slow cooker.
  • Cook on low for 6 hrs, then strain the liquid into a pan. Keep the meat and veg covered with foil so they stay warm. Bring the liquid to the boil, then simmer until reduced by a third and season. For thicker gravy, mix the cornflour with 2 tbsp water and whisk into the boiling liquid. Serve the beef with the gravy, along with some mash and greens.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs 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 a rich, dark sauce.
  • Use a good quality red wine: The wine you use in your stew will have a big impact on the flavor. Choose a red wine that you enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and color to beef stew. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms.
  • Season the stew well: Beef stew should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and herbs. You can also add other spices, such as garlic, paprika, or cumin, to taste.
  • Cook the stew on low heat for a long time: Beef stew is a slow-cooked dish. The longer you cook it, the more tender the beef will become. Aim to cook the stew for at least 2-3 hours, or even longer if you have the time.

Conclusion:

Beef stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and hearty beef stew that your family and friends will love.
