Day 143

Back on Day 119

I posted Spezzatino di Manzo al Cioccolato:

Beef Stew with Chocolate.

This is another version made with red wine

also by David Rocco.

As much as I love red wine.....
I think I like the chocolate one a bit better.

BEEF BRAISED IN CHIANTI

Pour 1/2 cup olive Oil into a stew pot

Add

2 pounds stewing Beef, cut into 1 inch cubes

1 red Onion roughly chopped

3 Garlic cloves, chopped

Sear for about 2 minutes

Add 3 cups Chianti (it should cover the beef)

Add Salt and Pepper

Bring to a boil

Then simmer gently about 2 hours

I also threw in a couple springs of fresh thyme.

I should have let it cook a bit longer ( I was in a rush)

and it seemed a bit salty to me.
