The weather is getting cold
OK I live in the North East and it is getting cold so I am making stews and other "cold weather" meals. Here is one of my favorites what are yours.
Garlic Beef Stew
Serves 4
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds beef for stew, such as chuck, in 1 ½-inch cubes
1 onion chopped
1 whole head garlic, separated and peeled
1 teaspoon flour
1 cup dry white wine
2 cloves
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon thyme
Heat the oil in a deep casserole. Brown the meat well on all sides. Add the onion and garlic and continue cooking until the onion is wilted. Stir in the flour, them add wine, cloves, salt, pepper, parsley, bay leaf, and thyme. Cover and simmer 1 ½ - 2 hours.
