Steps:
- Make stew
- In heavy, large saucepan over moderately high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add onion, carrot, and celery and sauté, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add beef and sauté, stirring occasionally, until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add wine and thyme, stir well, and bring to boil. Add tomatoes, salt, and pepper, then lower heat to moderately low, cover, and simmer, stirring every 15 minutes, until beef is tender, about 2 hours.
- While beef is simmering, make polenta
- Pour olive oil into large serving bowl and swirl to coat. Set aside.
- In heavy, large pot over moderately high heat, bring stock to boil. Lower heat to moderate and slowly add polenta, stirring constantly. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until polenta thickens and pulls away from sides of pan, about 10 minutes. Transfer to oil-coated serving bowl and keep warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the lardons and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and the fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Reserve the rendered fat in the Dutch oven.
- Generously season the short ribs with salt and pepper. In the same Dutch oven, working in batches, brown the short ribs in the remaining bacon fat over high heat, then remove to a plate and set aside. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the Dutch oven.
- To the Dutch oven with the reserved fat, add the carrots and shallots. Cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook until slightly darker, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Remove about half of the carrots and shallots, and reserve.
- To the Dutch oven, add the wine, beef broth, cognac, short ribs and bouquet garni. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook until the beef is very tender, 2 to 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Bring the Dutch oven from the oven to the stovetop. Remove the bouquet garni, carrots and shallots and discard. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
- Using a fork, in a small bowl, cream together the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and flour, using your fingers if necessary to mix well. Stir the mixture into the stew. Simmer over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
- Serve the ribs over creamy polenta along with the mushrooms and reserved carrots and shallots. Ladle some of the sauce over the top before serving.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the milk, then add the cornmeal gradually, whisking constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste, and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Turn the heat to low, and cook, stirring often, until the polenta is very thick, but is still creamy, 30 to 35 minutes. If the polenta becomes too thick, whisk in additional milk or water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it is the desired consistency (it should be about the consistency of porridge).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter using a wooden spoon. Taste for seasoning and serve immediately.

- Turn the polenta out of the bowl, slice, and serve alongside the stew.
BRAISED ITALIAN BEEF STEW
This is another one that might take a little while to prepare, but the work and wait are WELL worth the effort! If you can't find a 5 lb. boneless beef chuck roast, 2 smaller ones will work just fine!

Steps:
- Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper.
- Place it in a wide, deep baking pan (like a turkey roaster).
- Preheat the broiler, and put the rack 4" from the heat, or enough room to allow for the pan.
- Put the meat under the broiler and leave the door ajar so the element stays lit.
- Broil for about 15 min, or until a deep brown.
- Turn it over, and broil for 5 min more.
- As the meat cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onion, celery, and carrot.
- Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 min, or until softened. If the vegetables begin to burn or stick, turn the heat down.
- Add the garlic to the softened vegetables.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally for another 3-4 minute.
- Scrape the softened vegetables into the pan with the browned meat.
- Add the wine (or beef broth), tomatoes, thyme, and bay leaf.
- Heat oven to 300ºF.
- Cover the pan with foil, and crimp it tightly.
- Bake for 3 hours.
- Remove the pan from the oven, and remove the meat to a serving platter.
- Remove and discard the bay leaf from the sauce.
- Put the sauce into a blender (or use a hand held immersion blender) to blend the liquid and vegetables into a smooth sauce.
- Cover the meat with the sauce and serve.
- Serve with mashed potatoes. Leftovers freeze well.
- **NOTE: For a GREAT leftover dish. Shred the leftover roast in a skillet with the leftover sauce (like BBQ pork/beef) with two forks. It is easier to do when the roast is warmed. Serve this over the pasta of your choice, we like fettuccine.
