Zubereitung von Mediterranean Beef
- Cut 1.5 lbs beef stew meat into 1-inch cubes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Set aside.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 4 cloves garlic, minced, to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional), 2 bay leaves, 6 whole cloves, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Return the browned beef to the pot. Add 1 cup beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
- Cook 1 pound spaghetti according to package directions. Serve the Mediterranean Beef over the spaghetti, and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/2 cup).
