How to Make Beef In Tomato Wine Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes, to the flour mixture.
  4. Toss to coat the beef cubes evenly.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the coated beef cubes, 1 large onion (chopped), and 4 cloves garlic (minced) to the Dutch oven.
  7. Sauté for 6-7 minutes, or until the meat is lightly browned and onions are tender.
  8. Stir in 1 tablespoon paprika.
  9. Add 28 ounces (one 28-ounce can) crushed tomatoes with their juice and 1 cup dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot).
  10. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  11. Bring to a simmer, then cover the Dutch oven and transfer to the preheated oven.
  12. Bake for 90 minutes, or until the beef is fork-tender.
  13. While the beef is baking, prepare 1 cup of cooked rice.
  14. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley into the cooked rice.
  15. To serve, spoon the rice onto plates.
  16. Top generously with the tender beef and rich tomato wine sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
