Beef In Red Wine Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. In a large, heavy-based flameproof casserole dish with a lid, melt the butter over a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cook for 10 mins until starting to brown, then transfer to a small plate.
• Put the flour in a large plastic food bag with plenty of black pepper. Add half the beef, shake to coat, then remove, leaving some flour in the bag. Add the rest of the beef and shake to coat in the remaining flour.
• Heat the oil in the same casserole dish you cooked the onions in (there's no need to clean it first). Add the beef and bay leaves, and fry until the meat is browned all over. Pour in the wine and return the onions to the dish. Add the tomato purée and stock, stir and return to a simmer. Cover with the lid and put in the oven to stew for 1 hr.
• After 1 hr, add the mushrooms and return to the oven for another hour. Taste the meat - if it's tender, remove from the oven. If it's still a little firm, cook for 30 mins more and test again. Serve scattered with parsley, if you like.

Steps:

• Rub salt and pepper over beef.
• Mix together all marinade ingredients in glass or ceramic bowl large enough to accommodate the beef. Add the beef and coat on all sides with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate 12 to 24 hours, turning the beef occasionally.
• Remove beef from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Strain and reserve marinade.
• Heat oil in large Dutch oven.
• Add bacon; cook until transparent.
• Add beef and brown on all sides.
• Drain off fat.
• Pour warm brandy over beef and ignite; allow flames to die down.
• Add remaining braising ingredients; cover pan.
• Bake in 350 degree F oven for 3 hours, occasionally basting with reserved marinade.
• While meat is roasting, prepare vegetables.
• During the last hour of braising, add onions and carrots to Dutch oven.
• When meat and vegetables are tender, remove from oven and place on preheated platter.
• Surround with onions and carrots. Garnish with parsley and keep warm.
• Strain sauce through a sieve, skimming off any fat.
• Make a medium to dark roux with the flour and butter.
• Thicken pan sauce with all or part of the roux.
• Stir and heat to boiling 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add Madeira and cognac. Adjust seasonings.
• Spoon some sauce over meat; serve remaining sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Place beef in crockpot.
• Combine soup mix, wine/water and mustard.
• Pour over beef.
• Cover and cook for 6 - 8 hours or until tender, adding frozen vegetables 1 hour before cooking is complete.
• Add sufficient water (if required) to achieve desired consistency approximately 1 hour before dish is cooked.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan. Put the beef in a bowl, sprinkle with the flour and seasoning, then mix until well coated. Fry in batches, adding more oil if necessary, until everything is well browned. Transfer to a casserole dish.
• Add another tbsp oil to the pan and stir in the onion and carrots. Cover and gently cook for 10-12 mins until softened, then remove the lid and cook until just beginning to brown. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the wine and stir well, letting it boil up for 1 min, then pour the whole mixture over the meat. Add the stock, bay leaves and thyme, bring to a simmer, then cover and gently simmer for 2½ hrs until the meat is very tender. If the sauce looks a bit thin, remove the lid and continue to cook until it thickens. Eat half now; chill or freeze the rest for later (see 'Goes well with' for ideas on using the rest of the stew).

Steps:

• Pre-heat the slow cooker on high.
• Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan, and fry the bacon and garlic gently for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the beef and stir over a low heat until lightly browned on all sides.
• Stir in the flour, then slowly add the red wine, stirring until well blended. Add the bay leave, onions and seasoning. Bring to the boil, then transfer to the slow cooker.
• Cook on low for 7-10 hours.
• Discard the bay leave and season to taste.

Steps:

• A day ahead, marinate the beef. Bring the wine to the boil in a large saucepan, then boil until reduced by a third to remove the alcohol (takes about 8-10 mins). Leave to cool for about 1 hr. Mix the beef steaks, carrots, celery, baby onions, garlic, crushed peppercorns and bouquet garni together in 1 or 2 large bowls, then pour the cooled red wine over them. Cover with cling film, put in the fridge and leave to marinate for 24 hrs.
• The next day, place a large colander over a large bowl and tip in the beef mixture to drain off the marinade. Leave for at least 1 hr to remove excess liquid.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Sprinkle the flour on a baking sheet and cook for 8-10 mins until it has turned pale brown. Set aside. Reduce oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2.
• Separate the beef, vegetables and herbs and pat dry with kitchen paper. Reserve the marinade liquid. Season the beef with 4 pinches of salt. In a large, heavy-based casserole over a high heat, warm the clarified butter, then colour the beef steaks in it for 5-7 mins on each side - in batches if necessary. (To clarify butter, warm it gently in a small pan. The white milk solids will sink to the bottom, then you can carefully pour off the clear, clarified butter.) With a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a plate and set aside. Add the drained vegetables to the casserole. Lower the heat to medium-high and cook for 5 mins until lightly coloured, stirring occasionally.
• Tip the toasted flour into the casserole and stir for a few secs. Pour in the marinade wine little by little, stirring constantly to incorporate it into the flour and until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Add the beef and herbs, bring the sauce to the boil and skim if necessary. Cover with a lid and cook in the oven for 3 hrs.
• To finish the sauce, place a colander (big enough to hold the meat and veg) over a large saucepan and drain off the cooking liquor from the casserole. Put the saucepan on a high heat and boil until the sauce has reduced by about half to make a lightly coating sauce. Skim if necessary. Taste the sauce. Do not add any salt as you will be adding the smoked ham or lardons later. Return the beef and vegetables to the casserole, then pour over the sauce (discarding the herbs).
• For the garnish, heat the butter over a high heat in a large non-stick frying pan, then fry the mushrooms until lightly caramelised, adding a little more butter if necessary. Season to taste. Mix into the beef with the finely sliced ham or freshly fried lardons. Heat through, sprinkle with the parsley and serve piping hot.

Steps:

• Cut beef medallions crosswise into 12 equal rounds.
• Pound beef rounds to flatten to generous 1/4-inch-thick medallions.
• Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Working in batches, cook beef in skillet until brown on outside but still pink in center, about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer beef to plate.
• Add remaining butter to same skillet.
• Add garlic, onion and thyme to skillet and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes.
• Add flour and stir 1 minute.
• Add broth and wine.
• Boil until sauce thickens and is reduced to 1 1/4 cups, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes.
• Return beef and any collected juices to sauce in skillet and heat through, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F.
• Heat oil in pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
• Meanwhile, pat meat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Brown meat in hot oil on all sides, about 10 minutes total. (If bottom of pot begins to scorch, lower heat to moderate.) Transfer to a plate using a fork and tongs.
• Add pancetta to oil in pot and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring frequently, until browned and fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Add onion, carrot, and celery and sauté, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, and rosemary and sauté, stirring, until garlic begins to soften and turn golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and boil until liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add water and bring to a simmer, then return meat along with any juices accumulated on plate to pot. Cover pot with lid and transfer to oven. Braise until meat is very tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Transfer meat to a cutting board. Skim fat from surface of sauce and discard along with herb stems. Boil sauce until reduced by about one third, about 5 minutes, then season with salt. Cut meat across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices and return to sauce.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan. Fry steak for 2 mins on each side until brown. Remove steak to a plate, then throw the onion, garlic and oregano into the pan. Fry for 5 mins until starting to turn golden.
• Tip the wine and tomatoes into the pan, then simmer for 10 mins until thickened and rich. Slice the steak into chunks, return to the pan with any juices, then simmer for a few mins to reheat. Serve with pasta, chips or some fried potatoes.

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or kettle, sauté the beef in the butter and oil. Add the vegetables and continue to cook until tender.
• Sprinkle with flour, reduce the heat and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the wine, broth, tomato paste and seasonings. Simmer for 50 minutes covered.
• Serve over noodles.
