Red wine stew

The secret with any stew is to let it cook for a long time, but this is especially true when it comes to beef. Cook it for a few hours in herbs, tomatoes, wine, whatever works for you, and it will come out delicious, almost regardless of what meet part it is. In other words, you can buy a pretty cheap piece of beef, and still be able to make a lovely stew out of it.

We ate this yummy red wine and beef stew with a mash of broccoli, cauliflower and some fennel.

 

In my stew for 4 portions I used:

A piece of beef, see picture, trimmed and chopped

50 grams of butter for frying

1 onion

1 leek

2 garlic cloves

1 beef stock cube

Fry all the above in butter in a big pot until slighly browned.

Add:

3 dl of red wine

1 can of crushed tomatoes

2 table spoons of herbs such as basil and oregano

Salt

Pepper

Let everything cook for 1½-2 hours, or until the meet 'melts in your mouth' :)
