Brasato al Barolo - Italian Recipe

Brasato al Barolo

🌍 Italian, Piedmont Difficulty: ●●●○○

Piedmontese pot roast marinated and braised in Barolo wine. Use a wine worth drinking — the flavour concentrates during the braise and poor wine makes a poor dish. Marinate the beef overnight in the wine with vegetables before browning.

Ingredients

• 1.5kg beef chuck
• 1 bottle Barolo wine
• 1 onion, 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks
• Juniper, cloves, bay, peppercorns
• Butter, olive oil

Method

1. Marinating — Marinate beef overnight in wine with vegetables and spices.
2. Draining — Drain; brown beef thoroughly.
3. Step 3 — Return marinade; braise covered 2.5 hours.
4. Reducing — Reduce braising liquid; serve as sauce.
