Ingredients
- 2 pounds stewing beef
- 1 pound pearl onions, peeled
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 8 cloves garlic, crushed (don't panic it's good)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 can (15 ounce) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups water (hot)
- 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped (to garnish)
How to Make
-
Step 1: For the stew beef, put beef in brown paper sack and shake (make sure each piece is coated).
-
Step 2: Melt the butter in a stew pot, add stew beef, saute over medium heat until they are all browned and crispy outside, about 7 minutes. Add pearl onions and garlic and cook, stirring for another 7 minutes (at this point flour on the beef might stick to the bottom of the pot, but that's fine, it'll go away once you add tomatoes and water).
-
Step 3: Deglaze: keep stirring; add spices then boiling water and stir.
-
Step 4: Add diced tomatoes, salt and vinegar, once it bubbles, turn the heat down to low, cover and simmer for at least 2 hours,
-
Step 5: Top with parsley at end.
