How to Make Beef With Cannellini Beans

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 lb beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes, and 1/2 lb Italian sausage, casings removed, to the pot. Brown the beef and sausage on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth, 1 cup of dry red wine (such as Chianti), and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  6. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained.
  7. Continue to cook uncovered for a further 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  8. Serve hot over rice or with crusty bread for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
