14 Apr Member Recipe – Dave’s Lazy Argentinian Beef Stew

Check out Dave’s meltingly tender beef recipe inspired by the hearty Argentinian beef stew known as Carbonada Criolla ¡Buen provecho!

Ingredients:

• 1kg silverside or topside of beef, rump etc, with no added fat
• 2 tsp of butter
• 6 young carrots, tops trimmed and sliced length ways
• 1 celery stick, finely sliced length ways
• 200ml or large glass of Beefsteak Club Malbec
• 500ml rich beef stock
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 medium onions
• 4 garlic cloves
• a few thyme sprigs
• 2 tsp of cranberry jelly
• 1 tsp plain flour to thicken sauce

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/gas.
• Season the meat with black pepper and salt.
• Melt the butter in a large flameproof casserole dish and brown the meat all over for about 10 minutes, then set aside.
• Add 2 tsp oil to a frying pan, add the chopped onions and garlic, sliced carrots and celery and toss for 10 mins until brown.
• Add 2 tbsp of cranberry jelly and a large glass of Beefsteak Club Malbec wine into the hot casserole and simmer for 2 mins.
• Pour in the beef stock, return the beef, then tuck in the carrots, celery, bay leaves and thyme around the joint.
• Cover and cook in the oven for at least 2 hours until soft and tender, turning the beef halfway through.
• When the beef is ready, it should be tender and easy to pull apart. Remove it from the casserole and add the flour and cook for 1 min, to thicken.
• Slice the beef and add the carrots on the side with the rich gravy spooned over the top.
• Serve with either roast potatoes or garlic mashed potatoes.

Serve with a glass of Beefsteak Club Malbec!
