Categories     Beef     Vegetable     Braise     Sauté     Dinner     Meat     Leek     Fall     Winter     Simmer     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 4 to 6 family-style, with potatoes, rice, or orzo

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons blended oil (90 percent canola, 10 percent extra-virgin olive)
2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
1/2 large Spanish or sweet onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 large leek, cut into thick rounds, washed well in cold water, drained
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup red wine
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 to 5 cups water
1 fresh bay leaf or 2 dried leaves
1 large sprig rosemary
1 sprig thyme
1 sprig sage
2 cinnamon sticks
Extra-virgin olive oil
Grated orange zest
1 tablespoon roughly chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Place a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the blended oil. Season the beef aggressively with kosher salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, add the beef and sear on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Add all the chopped vegetables to the pan with the beef and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the red wine and red wine vinegar, and let them reduce completely away.
  • Add 3 cups of the water, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous grinding of pepper, the bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, sage, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and partially cover the pan. Simmer gently for about an hour. Check and, if the mixture is dry, add another cup or two of water. Keep simmering for 15 to 40 minutes more, until the meat is tender and the braising liquid has reduced to a saucy consistency. Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon sticks. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, and scatter with a little orange zest and the parsley.

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds leeks, preferably slender
1 pound plum tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper
Grated Parmesan, optional
Chopped parsley, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350. Trim the leeks of the hard green parts and outer skin, and wash them well. If they're fat, quarter them the long way. Chop the tomatoes and put them in a gratin dish long enough to hold the leeks but narrow enough so that everything is snug. Add the oil and nestle the leeks in there; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake, checking and stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes become saucy and the leeks are very, very tender, about an hour. If you like, sprinkle with Parmesan and raise the heat until the cheese melts and browns a bit. Otherwise, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot or warm.
