A Moroccan-inspired dish of warming and citrus flavors that that really ended up better than I expected. Best served hot over rice.

Time 2h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck roast
2 teaspoons salt, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium white onion, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon ground ginger
½ tablespoon ground allspice
½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup sweet red wine
2 cups water
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ cup orange juice
⅓ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
2 mandarin oranges, segments halved
9 dried pitted prunes

Steps:

  • Season beef with 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Heat oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear beef in the hot oil, 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
  • Saute onion and garlic in the Dutch oven until soft, about 5 minutes. Add ginger, allspice, and cinnamon; stir for 1 minute. Pour wine into the pot and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add water, tomato paste, honey, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt.
  • Cut seared beef into 1-inch cubes and return to the pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Add orange juice, sweetened dried cranberries, mandarin oranges, and prunes; let simmer, uncovered, for another 20 minutes. Serve.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would have preferred a milder flavor.

I'm not a fan of orange-flavored dishes, but this recipe was surprisingly good! The beef was tender and the orange sauce was flavorful without being too sweet.

I love the tangy orange flavor in this dish. It's a great change from the usual beef and broccoli.

The flavors in this dish were amazing, but the beef was a little too chewy for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beef turned out tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.
