Braised Beef with Onions

Preparation

1. STEP 1 OF 13

   Pound the piece of meat and rub its surface with salt, then sprinkle it with a few grinds of white pepper

2. STEP 2 OF 13

   Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large casserole, place the meat with the fat layer at the bottom of the dish, and put it in a hot oven (190 degrees)

3. STEP 3 OF 13

   Let the beef brown slightly, then gradually add the melted butter

4. STEP 4 OF 13

   Turn the meat and continue cooking, occasionally basting it with some of the juices from the bottom of the dish

5. STEP 5 OF 13

   Add the pearl onions and gently brown them with the meat for 1 hour so they take on some color and start to break down

6. STEP 6 OF 13

   Stir occasionally

7. STEP 7 OF 13

   Place the tomato paste in a small pan with a tablespoon of oil, let it flavor for a few moments over low heat, then add it to the meat

8. STEP 8 OF 13

   Cook for a quarter of an hour, then sprinkle the preparation with flour

9. STEP 9 OF 13

   Continue cooking without stirring until a golden crust forms on the surface of the meat

10. STEP 10 OF 13

    The braised beef should cook for a total of three hours

11. STEP 11 OF 13

    An hour before the end, baste it with red wine: the amount depends on how thick you want the cooking juices to be

12. STEP 12 OF 13

    Serve the braised beef with a soft mashed potato and pearl onions browned in butter, or with polenta and a porcini mushroom sauce

13. STEP 13 OF 13

    Instead of simple melted butter, you can use hazelnut butter: melt it slowly in a small pan and strain it through a cloth
