CAçOILA (PORTUGUESE STEWED BEEF)
This recipe is from Pico Island in the Azores, off the west coast of Portugal. It's pronounced 'ka-soy-la', and it's named for the clay pot (called a cacoila) in which it traditionally was made. The pot is soaked overnight, ingredients added the next morning, and then slow baked in an oven for 8 hours to tenderize the meat. Today...

Steps:
- 1. One day in advance, rub the crushed red pepper over the beef roast, place in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- 2. Layer the onion slices, parsley, garlic, and bay leaf in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Place the meat on top and dot with the butter. Mix together the wine and tomato paste and pour over the meat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer, and cook, covered, until the meat is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, occasionally turning the pieces to keep moist.
- 3. Serve immediately while still hot, with boiled white potatoes and roasted red peppers served alongside, if desired.
