Hearty, comforting and full of flavour. This scrumptious dish is perfect for lunch or dinner, any day of the week.
You will need:
- Diced knuckle/round beef steak or osso buco
- 30g butter
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1.5 tbsp plain flour
- 2 cups of beef stock
- 1/4 cup of tomato paste or tomato sauce
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp of chopped fresh herbs—we like using parsley or rosemary
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery sticks, diced
- 2 potatoes, quartered
- Peas, either plain or minted
- A splash of red wine
Grab your apron!
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- On the stovetop, heat the butter and oil in an oven-safe heavy based pot. Add the diced meat, brown and remove from the pot.
- Add the flour to the juices in the pot. Add the beef stock, tomato sauce or paste, the crushed garlic and fresh herbs, stir and cook for a few minutes. Then, add the diced carrots and celery and the red wine. Stir and bring to the boil.
- Place the browned meat back into the pot and transfer it to the oven.
- When the meat is falling off the bone or super tender, add the quartered potatoes. Cook for another hour.
- Lastly, add the peas and cook until they are tender.
- Serve with crusty bread and our "Wild" Pinot Noir or Carmenere.
