Categories     Beef     Braise

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 lbs beef, such as chuck
1 tsp salt
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup brandy
1 cup beef stock or bouillon
1/2 bottle heavy red wine
2 medium onions, chopped
2 bay leaves
2 Tbsp vinegar
2 Tbsp molasses
1/2 cup heavy cream
Chopped parsley
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Dissect the meat, removing all fat, etc. Cut the meat into cubes or pieces. Place the meat pieces, salt, pepper, and allspice into a plastic grocery bag, and shake or stir to coat the meat with the seasonings. Heat some olive oil in a large pot to be used for the braising. Brown the meat on all sides. Discard any left over oil. Remove the meat, and add the chopped onions. Saute the onions until translucent. Return the meat, and add all other ingredients except the parsley and cream. Simmer, covered, over very low heat, for 3 hours. When the meat is very tender, remove it. Puree the braising liquid, place in a freezer for 30 minutes, then remove the fat. Return the braising liquid to the pot. Thicken it with some flour mixed with butter. Finally, whip the cream (or not), and fold it into the braising liquid. Pour the sauce over the meat in a serving bowl, and sprinkle with some chopped parsley.
