BRAISED BEEF WITH EGGPLANT



Braised Beef With Eggplant image

The food of Provence usually evokes summer, with lovely vegetables, salads, seafood and a whiff of lavender. But there's a wintry side to it as well. When a fierce mistral wind blows, it's time to crank out beef stews and roasted meats. This braised beef dish, a pot roast, keeps a Provençal flavor profile, with eggplant, garlic, fennel, rosemary, orange, black olives and tomatoes. It's prepared to allow the eggplant to maintain its character and not disintegrate. I like to braise a nice piece of tri-tip sirloin, but this recipe will suit any cut of beef you prefer for braising. Serve the dish with plain broad egg noodles dressed with a splash of good olive oil.

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 eggplant (about 1 pound) in 1-inch dice
Salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 2 1/2-pound piece of beef for braising (tri-tip, rump or brisket)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh fennel bulb
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chopped canned San Marzano tomatoes
3 tablespoons pastis or other anise liqueur
4 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, slivered
1 cup dry red wine
1 cup beef or vegetable stock
Ground black pepper
2 branches fresh rosemary
2 branches fresh thyme
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon black olive tapenade

Steps:

  • Place eggplant in a colander, dust with salt and set aside 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a 4-quart stovetop casserole on medium-high and add the oil. Dry the beef and brown it on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan to a plate. Turn off heat.
  • Rinse and dry the eggplant. Reheat the casserole on medium and sear the eggplant, turning frequently, until it is lightly browned, glossy and still somewhat firm, about 10 minutes. Transfer the eggplant to a bowl. Add the fennel, onion and garlic to the casserole and sauté on low heat until translucent. Add the diced tomatoes and pastis and cook, stirring, to deglaze the casserole. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, wine and stock, and bring to a simmer. Season with pepper. Add the rosemary and thyme. Return the meat to the casserole, cover and simmer on low heat for 2 hours, turning once or twice during the cooking.
  • After 2 hours the meat should be tender. If not, give it another 15 or 20 minutes cooking. Remove it to a cutting board. Discard herb branches from sauce, and stir in the orange zest and tapenade. Season to taste with salt. Add the eggplant to the casserole and simmer 5 minutes, just to reheat it. Slice the beef and arrange on a platter. Give the sauce another quick heating, then spoon it with the eggplant over and around the meat and serve.

cooking spray
1 medium eggplant, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 pinch salt, or more as needed
1 cup cornmeal

  • Layer eggplant slices to cover bottom of the prepared pan; follow with ground beef, 1/2 can diced tomatoes, 1/2 the Cheddar cheese and 1/2 the Monterey Jack cheese. Repeat layers, starting with eggplant slices. Dredge any remaining eggplant slices in Parmesan cheese and place on top of casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling and top is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

EGGPLANT AND GROUND BEEF LASAGNA



Eggplant and Ground Beef Lasagna image

I couldn't decide if I wanted lasagna or moussaka the other night; this came out as a yummy combo of the two! Spinach lasagna noodles work well in this if you can get them. Also, try ground lamb in place of the beef for another variation.
