Tender and flavorful, Braised Beef with Barolo is a classic recipe from Piedmont. The secret to its goodness? The wine marinade and slow cooking. Although traditionally prepared with Barolo, the braised beef also pairs well with Ruché. Its aromatic notes harmonize with the braised meat, enhancing the aromas of the spices and herbs used in the preparation.
Place the meat in a bowl with carrots, onions studded with cloves, garlic, celery, aromatic bunch, pepper, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Pour the wine over, cover, and let marinate in a cool place for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.
Drain the meat from the marinade and brown it in a saucepan with butter over high heat.
Sprinkle with brandy and flambé until the alcohol evaporates.
Add the vegetables and the filtered marinade wine, cover, and cook over moderate heat for about 4 hours.
Pass the sauce through a food mill, pour it over the meat, and cook for another 10 minutes.
Serve the braised beef very hot with mashed potatoes or polenta.
