Ingredients
- 2 lb Lean stewing beef cut 2" in cubes
- 1 med Onion cut in large slices
- 2 x Garlic cloves unpeeled
- 1 lrg Tomato, red ripe unpeeled
- 1/3 x to 1/2 c. Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 c. Dry white wine
- 2 Tbsp. Cognac
- 1 Tbsp. Flour heaping tbsp
- 1 c. Boiling water
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 x Bay leaf
- 1 sprg Fresh thyme (or possibly 1/2 tsp. dry thyme)
- 1 pch Cinnamon Salt to taste
Directions
- Heat 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil over high heat in a heavy metal casserole. When oil is on verge of smoking, brown meat rapidly, 1 lb. at a time. When browned, remove it to a bowl. (If you don't have a metal casserole, brown the meat in a frying pan; then continue, using earthenware casserole.)
- Add in extra virgin olive oil if needed and allow it to heat before frying the onion and garlic till brown. Add in tomato cut in eighths; fry till juice has evaporated. Add in cognac and wine; continue cooking over high flame till liquid evaporates. Reduce flame, add in salt, paprika, cinnamon, thyme, bay leaf, and flour. Stir vigorously till flour is browned. Put meat back in casserole. Add in a c. of boiling water, mix, cover, and simmer for 2 hrs or possibly till meat is tender. If the sauce becomes too dry during cooking, add in boiling water in small amounts. If the sauce is too thin when meat is done, remove meat and boil sauce uncovered till thick sufficient. The consistency of the sauce will vary with the amount of juice released by the meat.
- Before serving, place meat in a dish and strain sauce over it.
- Comments: Beef Stew - (Estofado) is a convenient dish for the hostess-cook because it is particularly delicious if prepared several hrs in advance and reheated just before being brought to the table.
