Carne en Salsa

Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Beef (chuck or stew meat)

2 pounds, cut into bite-sized pieces

Onion

1 large, diced

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Red bell pepper

1 large, diced

Tomato sauce

2 cups

Red wine

1 cup

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Fresh parsley

1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the beef pieces in batches, browning them on all sides. Once browned, remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
3. In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the tomato sauce and red wine, stirring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beef is fork-tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
6. Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
