Ingredients

  • 1 cup olive oil

  • 1 kg Island Beef cubed stewing beef (seasoned with salt)

  • ½ Tablespoon freshly cracked black peppercorns

  • 250 grams onion, minced

  • 125 grams carrot, minced

  • 125 grams celery, minced

  • 4 sprigs rosemary

  • 1 bottle (750 ml) red wine

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 325F.
  • Starting with ½ cup of the olive oil in a stewing pot, brown the Island Beef cubed stewing meat over medium-high heat in batches.
  • Once the beef is browed, add the remaining olive oil to the pan and sweat the vegetables over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with the red wine.
  • Return the cubed Island Beef to the pot and stir in the black pepper and rosemary.
  • Cover the pot with its lid and place in the oven. Braise the stew for 3 ½ – 4 hours until the beef is tender, and the red wine has reduced into a rich sauce. If the dish is still too liquid, remove the cover and reduce the sauce on the stove until desired consistency is achieved.
