CAPSICUM AND MUSHROOM BEEF STEW

September 27, 2013 By Manu 5 Comments

Capsicum and Mushroom Beef Stew

Today I want to share with you a recipe that I used to cook while growing up in Milan.  Yes, you read that right. I used to cook this for the family.  It is quite an easy recipe all things considered.  I used to cook it on the stove, but I have recently changed over to the “oven method”.  It does take long to cook (about 3 hours in the oven), but the meat becomes so soft that it melts in your mouth.  Besides, you can put it in the oven and go ahead with whatever else you want/need to do.  This is a warm, hearty beef stew and the wine and oil marinade helps to give it a good body and to tenderise the meat.  I love the mushrooms and capsicum/bell peppers in it and whenever I make it, it makes me think of Hungary.  I guess, it does have “Hungarian flavours” in it.  I love to serve this stew with steamed rice, mashed or boiled potatoes and lots of bread to soak up that amazing sauce!  Enjoy!

Author Manuela Zangara

Ingredients

  • 600 gms – 1.3 lbs. chuck steak cubed

For the marinade

  • 250 ml – 1 cup red wine
  • 80 ml – 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt & Pepper

For cooking

  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 red capsicums thinly sliced
  • 2 medium onions thinly sliced
  • 85 gms – 3 oz. tomato paste double concentrate
  • 300 gms – 10.5 oz. button mushrooms sliced
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  1. In a big bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the marinade.
  2. Add the cubed beef and mix well.
  3. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and put it in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours (I usually keep it overnight).
  4. In an oven proof casserole brown the beef in the extra virgin olive oil.
  5. Add the sliced capsicums and onions and mix well. Cook for a couple of minutes.
  6. Add the tomato concentrate, mixed with 2 tbsp of water. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Add the marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Bring to a boil, cover and cook it in pre heated oven at 150°C – 300°F for about 3 hours.
  9. After the first 2 hours have passed, add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and continue cooking for the remaining hour.
  10. Add a little water if required or reduce the sauce on the stove if too runny.
  11. Serve hot with steamed rice, boiled potatoes or mash and bread!

    yummy! Owen is better, I agree, and I’m sure that a “brava milanese” (with an heart made in Sicily), like you, cooking this dish with her eyes closed! Thank you! Daniela
