Braised Beef With Tea image

A recipe from Ricardo I made today. There is tea and prune in it. The house was smelling great while baking. The meat is tender. I browned the beef in half the oil and half butter

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 -4 cups chicken stock (I needed to add 1 more cup when I added the green beans)
6 orange pekoe tea bags
2 lbs boneless beef blade roast
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 onions, chopped
3 large carrots, sliced in 1/2 inches
225 g green beans, cut in pieces
1/3 cup dried prune, cut in 4
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring the chicken stock to boil. Add tea, remove from the heat and let infuse about 15 minutes. Remove the tea bags. Set aside.
  • Put the grill in the center of the oven. Preheat to 350°F.
  • In a large ovenproof saucepan, brown the beef in butter and oil (I used a non-stick pan and used only half butter and half oil). Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside on a plate.
  • In the same saucepan, brown the onions. Add more butter if needed (I didn't). Put the beef back in the saucepan and add the chicken-tea stock. Bring to boil. Cover and cook in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Add carrots and keep cooking, covered, 30 minutes. Add green beans and prunes, making sure to soak them in the stock. (that's when I added the other cup of chicken stock.) Keep cooking about 30 minutes, uncovered or until green beans are tender. Adjust seasoning.
  • Serve on mashed potatoes, plain couscous or noodles with butter.
