Red wine beef stew that lasted us for two meals, I had mine with baguette. :)
BEEF STEW RECIPE
Ingredients:
500g stew beef meat (cubed)
4 Carrots (cubed)
4 potatoes (cubed)
1 large onion (sliced)
1 can tomato puree
1 beef cube
1/2 cup red cooking wine
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp cornflour
salt/pepper to taste
Method:
- Marinate the beef for 1hour, with paprika and cornflour.
- Brown the meat in the pan; dish it out and set it aside
- Add some oil and fry the vegetables together with the onions
- Once the vegetables and onions are fragrant, add the beef into the pan followed by tomato puree and beef cube.
- Bring it to a boil and close the lid and stew for 1hr+ or until beef is tender.
Note: I usually buy this beef cut call chuck tender from Giant Hypermarket for beef stew. It comes in a big piece, and is cheaper than the cut for stewing from other supermarkets. :)
hmm.. the beef stew looks amazing.. I bet it taste superb!
ReplyDeletecan you share the receipe of the red wine beef stew?
@Bobo, sure, I'll update under this post tomorrow, you can check in the evening, :)
ReplyDeleteI really don't want winter & Christmas to arrive cause I am not a fan of COLD...but at least you make it festive!
ReplyDelete@Diana, yes, most of my friends who stay in temperate countries dislike winter, because of the cold and inconvenience. But we love it, because it's like a novelty for us, it's so hot over here all year round. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the receipe! so the red wine is not the normal red wine we drink?
ReplyDelete@Bobo, I dun drink wine so I'm not familiar with them, this recipe calls for a fruity red wine like merlot. I hope it helps coz I've no idea what kind of red wine is tt. FYI, I always buy my red wine fr the cooking wine section in the supermkt n it's called red cooking wine.
