A classic Piedmontese dish — beef braised in Barolo wine until meltingly tender.
Servings: 6 servings
Course: hovedrett
Cuisine: italiensk
Calories: 520

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 kg beef chuck or other braising cut
  • 1 bottle Barolo or another full-bodied red wine
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 1 onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Place the beef in a large bowl and pour the wine over it. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves and thyme. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, preferably overnight.
  2. Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry. Strain the marinade, reserving both the liquid and vegetables.
  3. Brown the meat thoroughly on all sides in a little oil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
  4. Sauté the vegetables from the marinade in the same pot until softened.
  5. Return the meat to the pot and pour the marinade over it. The meat should be nearly covered with liquid.
  6. Cover and braise on low heat for 3–4 hours, until the meat is tender and falling apart.
  7. Remove the meat and keep warm. Strain the sauce and reduce to the desired consistency.
  8. Slice the meat thickly and serve with the sauce poured over.

Notes

Tips: Jo lenger kjøttet marinerer i vin, desto rikere smak. La det gjerne ligge over natten i kjøleskapet.
Oppbevaring: Smaker enda bedre dagen etter. Holder seg i kjøleskap i 3–4 dager.
Varianter: Fungerer også utmerket med en god Amarone eller annen kraftig Nebbiolo-vin.
