Beef Stew In Red Wine Sauce Recipes

RED WINE BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Season the meat with salt and pepper, place in a large bowl, and toss with the flour.
• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or wide-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Cook the meat, in batches, until well browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes, transferring the pieces to a plate as they are browned. Pour off and discard any drippings from the pot.
• Add the tomato paste, wine, broth, onion, bay leaves, thyme, and 2 of the carrots and bring to a boil. Return the meat and any juices back to the pot (the meat should be barely submerged in liquid), cover, and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 hours.
• Using tongs, remove and discard the cooked vegetables. Add the potatoes and the remaining 8 carrots to the pot, cover, and return to the oven. Cook until the meat and vegetables are fork-tender, about 1 hour more.

• Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce to simmer, cover and continue cooking for 1-3/4 hours.
• Add remaining vegetables and cook covered another 45 minutes longer or until meat and vegetables are tender, but not mushy.
• Thicken broth if necessary with 2 tablespoons of the flour mixed with 2 tablespoons water.
• Simmer until thick.

BEEF STEW IN RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the meat into 8 pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 350°. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cast-iron pot that is attractive enough for the table. Arrange the meat in one layer in the pot, and season it with salt and pepper. Cook on top of the stove over high heat for about 8 minutes, browning the meat on all sides.
• Add 1 cup of finely chopped onion and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic. Cook over moderate heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1 tablespoon of flour. Mix in well so that the flour doesn't form lumps. Stir in 1 bottle of red wine. Add 2 bay leaves, a sprig of fresh thyme, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Stir well and cover.
• Place the pot in the oven and continue to cook for about 1 1/2 hours; the meat should be soft and tender and the liquid properly reduced. The recipe can be prepared to this point up to a day ahead.
• For the garnishes, peel 15 cipollini or pearl onions, wash 15 cremini mushrooms and peel 15 baby carrots. For the lardons, you will need one 5-ounce piece of pancetta. Bring the pancetta and 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan and simmer for about 30 minutes; drain. Cut the pancetta into 1/2-inch slices and then cut the slices into 1-inch-wide lardons.
• Combine the onions, mushrooms, carrots and pancetta in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 cup of water and a good dash each of sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes; at this point, there should be practically no water left. Uncover and cook over high heat, sautéing the vegetables until nicely browned on all sides, about 4 minutes.
• To serve, mix some of the vegetables and lardons into the stew and sprinkle the rest on top as a garnish. Add a little chopped fresh parsley and serve.

RED WINE-MARINATED BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Marinate the beef in red wine in a 9x13-inch glass baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, turning the meat over halfway through marinating time.
• Remove beef from the wine and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the wine.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season beef on all sides with salt and pepper. Brown in the hot oil, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove meat, drain the pot, and add bacon. Cook until semi-crisp and browned, about 5 minutes. Drain bacon grease but do not wipe the pot clean.
• Drizzle remaining oil into the pot and add potatoes, carrots, green beans, celery, and garlic. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Pour reserved wine, beef broth, and tomatoes into the pot, scraping up the browned bits that cling to the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add rosemary and sage. Return the meat to the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and let simmer until meat is very tender and no longer pink, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, adding mushrooms during the last 1 hour of cooking time.
• Combine tapioca and cold water in a bowl. Mix into the stew to thicken as desired.

SLOW COOKER BEEF STEW WITH RED WINE

Steps:

• Spray a slow cooker with cooking spray and place meat inside.
• Mix flour, pepper, and salt together in a small bowl. Pour over the meat and stir to coat. Stir in potatoes, red wine, carrots, bacon, celery, onion, garlic, seasoning salt, and bay leaves.
• Cover and cook on Low for 10 to 12 hours or High for 4 to 6 hours.

BEEF STEW WITH RED WINE AND HOISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the meat on paper towels and pat it dry. Sprinkle it generously with salt and pepper and set it aside.
• Place a heavy, large pot (or Dutch oven) over medium-high heat on your stovetop. When it gets hot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and then add the meat. Sauté the meat until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes (depending on the size of your pot and the amount of meat, this step should be done in batches so as to ensure that all the meat gets browned evenly-do not crowd the pot). Remove the meat from the pot and reserve. Reduce the heat to medium; add 2 more tablespoons olive oil to pot. Add the onions and sauté them until they are golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
• Return the meat to the pot and mix it into onions. Add 1 cup of wine, the tomatoes with their juices, the hoisin sauce, and the bay leaves. Bring the stew to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer the stew for an hour, stirring occasionally.
• Add the carrots and the remaining 1cup of wine. Cover again and simmer the stew for another 30 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Uncover to pot and continue cooking until the sauce is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes longer.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the cornstarch mixture, and simmer until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Transfer the stew to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
