Pot-Roasted Beef in Red Wine with Vegetables and Prunes


This amazing dish takes only 10 minutes to prepare! Pop it inside the oven, then just put your feet up while it is slowly roasting for a couple of hours. Rich taste, truly awesome!

Ingredients
  • 1k beef (brisket or silverside), diced in bite-sized portions
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 8 small onions
  • 2 large carrots, thickly sliced
  • 2 stalks of celery, sliced
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons white mushrooms, halved
  • 1 sprig of thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 water glass of red wine
  • 1 water glass of meat stock of water
  • 12 prunes, pitted
  • some finely chopped parsley for garnish
  • salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • potato mash (to accompany the meat)
Method
Dice the meat into bite-sized portions and flour it. Season with salt and pepper and mix everything well. In a small, ovenproof, earthenware pot put the onions (whole), carrots, celery, mushrooms and garlic and combine them well. Put the meat portions on top and stick the bay leaf and thyme sprig in. Add the prunes and pour the wine and meat stock over. Stir well. Put the lid on and bake at 200ºC for 1h and 45 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes. Serve with potato mash and sprinkle with the finely chopped parsley. If you wish you may reduce the sauce before you serve. Put it in a saucepan and boil briskly over a high heat for 6-7 minutes until bubbling and thick. (you do that whenever you need to end up with a thick sauce).
