Yummy Scrummy Braised Beef With Red Wine And Cranberry Food

YUMMY SCRUMMY BRAISED BEEF WITH RED WINE AND CRANBERRY

Steps:

• Cut the steak into bite size pieces and tip into a large food bag with the flour and some salt and pepper.
• Give the bag a good shake, making sure the beef is well coated.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan.
• Add the beef and fry until evenly browned.
• Remove to a plate.
• You can do this in two batches if you prefer.
• Heat 1 tbsp of oil in the pan and add the onions.
• Fry for 5 minutes until they're slightly brown.
• Return the beef to the pan and add the wine and stock.
• Bring to the boil, stirring well to scrape up the juices.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• NOTE: I only add pepper at this stage because my stock is pretty salty.
• Reduce the heat, cover tightly with a lid and cook at a gentle simmer for one and a half hours until the beef is tender.
• Stir in the cranberry sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• Simmer it for a few minutes and serve with a huge dollop of creamy mashed potatoes.
• Happy Cooking!
