Stufato Alla Florentina Stewed Beef Recipe

Ingredients: Beef, mutton, or veal, onions, rosemary, Burgundy,

tomatoes, stock, potatoes, butter, garlic.



Cut up an onion and three leaves of rosemary, fry them slightly in

an ounce of butter, then add meat (beef, mutton, or veal), cut into

fair-sized pieces, salt it and fry it a little, then pour half a glass

of Burgundy over it, and add two tablespoonsful of tomato conserve, or

better still, fresh tomatoes in a puree. Cover up the stewpan and cook

gently, stir occasionally, and add some stock if the stew gets too dry.

If you like to add potatoes, cut them up, put them in the stewpan an

hour before serving, and cook them with the meat. A clove of garlic with

one cut may be added for five minutes.
