Stracotto all'italiana is a traditional Italian dish made with beef slow-cooked with vegetables, red wine and spices. The meat is marinated and braised for several hours until it becomes tender and succulent. The result is a dish rich in intense flavors and aromas. Perfect to serve on special occasions or during the colder months.
The day before, put the meat in the red wine with the sliced carrots, sliced pearl onions and a little garlic; turn the meat from time to time.
The next day, melt butter and oil in a pan and add the meat with a little onion and the garlic but not the soaking liquid.
When the meat is browned, flambé with the brandy and then pour the marinade mixture over it.
Let it cook for 2 hours.
Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes and put them in a pot with the fresh pearl onions, round carrots, mushrooms, olives, thyme and bay leaf.
Let this cook for 2 hours and then add this mixture to the meat, letting it cook for an additional hour.
