Italian stew (Stracotto) – so tender that the meat almost disintegrates by itself

If a dish tastes like a cozy Sunday dinner with the Italian family, it’s Stracotto. The Italian stew does not need a complicated preparation – but some time.
A large piece of beef is first vigorously fried and then slowly braised together with onions, carrots, celery, garlic, tomatoes, red wine and aromatic herbs.
The result: buttery beef and a strong, dark sauce, in which the entire taste of meat, vegetables, wine and herbs combines.
