How To Make Braised Beef With Red Wine And Rosemary
This mouthwatering braised beef with red wine and rosemary recipe is easy to prepare, and the taste is always delicious. First, coat the beef evenly with all-purpose flour. Sear the beef in a heavy-bottomed pot until nicely browned. Place on a plate and side aside. In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme and bay leaves, give a quick stir until aromatic. Add tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Stir well. Then, add in dry red wine, beef broth, brown sugar and soy sauce while stirring. Next, return the beef to the pot. Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender and the sauce becomes rich and thick. Remove herbs stems and serve immediately.
Cooking Tips
Do not chop the beef into large chunks. Cut the beef into about 2″ cubes to minimize the cooking time so that you won’t wait too long to get a good tenderness. To ensure the beef is cooked tender and juicy from the inside, we need to coat the beef with flour and sear it until nicely browned before cooking it with other ingredients. Pick a dry red wine for this recipe, such as Burgundy, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, or anything but not a sweet wine. Generously, give this dish a long time to simmer, so that the beef comes out tender and absorbs all the flavors from the sauce.
