Yummy Scrummy Braised Beef With Red Wine and Cranberry image

I absolutely love this recipe because it only has six ingredients but tastes divine. It's from the BBC Good Food magazine's Dec 2003 issue. I've made it about half a dozen times and my husband licks his plate everytime!!! I tend to add a little more stock and wine as I prefer more gravy but I've written the proportions as they were in the magazine.

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 kg braising steak
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons oil
3 onions, thinly sliced
300 ml red wine
300 ml stock
1/4 cup cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Cut the steak into bite size pieces and tip into a large food bag with the flour and some salt and pepper.
  • Give the bag a good shake, making sure the beef is well coated.
  • Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan.
  • Add the beef and fry until evenly browned.
  • Remove to a plate.
  • You can do this in two batches if you prefer.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil in the pan and add the onions.
  • Fry for 5 minutes until they're slightly brown.
  • Return the beef to the pan and add the wine and stock.
  • Bring to the boil, stirring well to scrape up the juices.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • NOTE: I only add pepper at this stage because my stock is pretty salty.
  • Reduce the heat, cover tightly with a lid and cook at a gentle simmer for one and a half hours until the beef is tender.
  • Stir in the cranberry sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Simmer it for a few minutes and serve with a huge dollop of creamy mashed potatoes.
  • Happy Cooking!
