Beef and red wine casserole is a comforting and hearty dish perfect for chilly evenings. This recipe combines tender beef, savory bacon, and aromatic vegetables, all simmered in a rich red wine and tomato sauce, creating a flavorful stew that's sure to please the entire family.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Dice the bacon strips and chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves, cube the beef, and slice the carrots.
- Chop the fresh parsley and set aside for later.
- Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large casserole pot over medium heat.
- Add the diced bacon and cook until browned and crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- In the same pot with the remaining bacon fat, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove the onion and garlic mixture from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add 1 more tbsp olive oil.
- Add the cubed beef, cooking in batches if necessary, and brown on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch.
- Once all the beef is browned, return all the beef to the pot.
- Sprinkle the 2 tbsp of flour over the beef, stirring well to coat evenly.
- Cook for an additional 2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
- Add the 1 cup of red wine to the pot, stirring well to deglaze and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Allow the wine to reduce by half, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Once the wine has reduced, add the 1 cup of beef broth and the can of diced tomatoes along with their juices.
- Return the bacon, onion, and garlic mixture to the pot.
- Add the sliced carrots and stir everything together.
- Season the casserole with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low.
- Allow the casserole to cook gently for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Just before serving, stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve the beef and red wine casserole hot, alongside crusty bread or over a bed of mashed potatoes.
Tips:
- Choose a good quality red wine for cooking, as it will enhance the flavor of the casserole.
- Sear the beef in batches to ensure even browning and to prevent steaming.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, potatoes, or celery for added flavor and nutrition.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.
By following these steps, you'll create a delicious beef and red wine casserole that's perfect for any family dinner or special occasion. The rich flavors develop beautifully as the dish simmers, making it an irresistible addition to your recipe collection. Serve it with mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or a side salad for a complete meal.
