Running thru life... Cooking attempt take two!


One of my New Years resolutions was to book.
So last week I made Wine Braised Beef.
I found the recipe in the magazine Family Circle that I get for free.
Ingredients
  • Wine-braised beef
    1 1/2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 large carrots (about 1/2 pound), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 ounces frozen pearl onions (1 1/4 cups), thawed
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups hearty red wine
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 spig fresh rosemary
  • Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Wine-braised beef
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees . Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a Dutch oven on high; brown beef on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high, add carrots, onions and garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add wine, stock, tomato paste and rosemary and bring to a boil. Cover, place in oven and braise at 350 degrees for 11/2 hours or until meat is knife-tender and sauce thickens.


Finished Product.  
We placed it over a little rice.  
It was perfect.
Will be a recipe we save!
