BEEF AGGLASSATO

August 25, 2013 By Manu 7 Comments

Beef Agglassato

Today’s Regional Italian dish is yet another dish from Sicily!  It is a very easy and delicious beef pot roast (kind of) made with onions and white wine.  It is a recipe from Palermo that comes from my father’s side of the family.  I have already shared with you the recipe for Chicken Agglassato, and this is the beef version. The Sicilian word “agglassato” means “glazed” and it refers to the glazed look that the onion sauce gives to the final dish.  It is my favourite pot roast and my mum would always make it for our Sunday lunch.  It looks a million bucks, but you won’t believe how easy it is to make.  The best part of this dish is that you put everything together in a pot until cooked, just add some white wine at the end… and you are done!  I love eating it with home-made chips or baked potatoes.  Enjoy!

The recipe for a delicious Sicilian beef pot roast: Beef Agglassato!

Course Main
Cuisine Italian
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings 4
Author Manuela Zangara

Ingredients

  • 2 big onions roughly chopped
  • 750 gms – 1.7 lbs. beef eye round
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp rosemary leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves halved
  • 3 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • Water
  • 80 ml – 1/3 cup white wine
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cut 4 slits in the meat and fill them with the halved garlic cloves and half of the rosemary.
  2. Tie the piece of meat with some kitchen string and keep it aside. This step is not essential, but it keeps the meat in shape while cooking and makes for a better final presentation.
  3. Put the meat, onions, bay leaves, rosemary, tomatoes extra virgin olive oil and salt in a big pot and cover ¾ of the meat with water.
  4. Put it on the fire and bring it to a boil. Now cover the pot, put the fire on medium and let it cook for 1 hour or until the meat is cooked through. If the water has not completely evaporated, remove the lid and increase the fire to thicken the sauce.
  5. Add the white wine. When the alcohol has burnt off the meat is ready.
  6. Let it cool down, remove the kitchen string and then slice it into 0.5 cm – 0.2 inch slices.
  7. Serve warm with the onion sauce on the top and fried or baked potatoes on the side.

    This looks and sounds really delicious! Is there anything that doesn’t taste incredible braised in onions?

    Hi Manu!

    Hope you are well! I have made loads of your delicious recipes and can’t thank you enough.

    I wanted to make the Neef Agglassattto – it looks so good. I am a bit afraid though, as my husband likes his meat pink and this looks cooked the whole way through.

    Doesn’t this way of cooking make the meat chewey and a bit tough?

    Should I just go ahead and try this or should I adjust the recipe to accommodate my husband or would that be bad?

    Thanks, Marilyn

      Hi Marilyn!
      Thanks for your comment! 🙂 I totally understand your husband… I always have my steak rare. In this specific case, the meat is usually cooked through and if you use a good cut for roasts, it should not become chewy. You can also keep it a little pinkish if you prefer. 🙂
      I also have a similar recipe for chicken (http://www.manusmenu.com/agglassato-chicken-pollo-agglassato), in case you are up for it.
      Let me know how you like it!
