Preparation:
Stew of beef bites and potatoes is a traditional Italian peasant dish that embodies all the warmth and love of the grandmothers of the past. Despite its simplicity, its preparation requires particular attention to the choice of ingredients, as the quality of the meat and potatoes is essential to obtain an excellent result.
The procedure for preparing the stew is simple, but requires slow cooking, in a saucepan with a lid, over low heat for an hour and a half. The meat is cut into cubes, browned with onion and extra virgin olive oil and then added to the diced potatoes. The addition of garlic and water to cover the ingredients and the slow cooking over low heat make the stew soft and juicy, perfect to be enjoyed on a cold winter day or on an autumn evening. At the end of cooking, adjust the sape and pepper and leave to rest for another half hour to combine all the aromas.
To further enhance the intense flavors of this delicacy, it can be served with toasted bread and a good red wine with an intense flavour. A Pinot noir from Oltrepò Pavese or a Rosso di Valtellina are excellent choices, able to enhance the special flavors of the stew of beef bites and potatoes. These wines have hints of berries that go perfectly with the intense flavors of meat and potatoes.
The stew of beef bites and potatoes is a dish that tastes like home, family, sharing. It is the symbol of the Italian culinary tradition and embodies all the flavors and aromas of our land. Preparing a stew means getting together in the kitchen, chatting and enjoying a delicacy together that takes us back to the origins of our gastronomic culture.
Enjoy your meal!
