Pot Roast in Red Wine

Pot Roast in in Red Wine is a classic of Italian cuisine. We pair it with the Coevo by Famiglia Cecchi.

Ingredients:

1 garlic clove; 2 bay leaves; 40g butter; cinnamon: 1kg beef (breast of beef or brisket); 2 carrots; 3 cloves; 1 onion; 4 tablespoons of olive oil; 3g black pepper; 1 rosemary stick; salt to taste; 2 celery sticks; and Primitivo di Manduria wine.

Directions:

Dry the meat of any excess blood and place it in a large, deep baking dish. Peel the vegetables, cut them into cubes and place them with the meat and add the spices. Add an abundant amount of wine and cover the dish with plastic wrap. Let everything marinate for 12 hours.

After 12 hours remove the meat, place it on a copping board and dry delicately with paper towels.

Melt the butter with the oil in a pot and brown the meat 5 minutes per side until it is brazed.

Add the vegetables and spices from the marinade to the meat and cook for around 15 minutes. When it begins to soften, salt and add the rest of the marinade (which can be warmed up in a microwave). Cover the pot and let simmer for at least two hours.

Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the pot and keep warm before slicing.

Prepare the sauce to accompany the meat by blending with a mixer all the vegetables together with the wine and then reducing it in a pan. Adjust the salt and bring to a boil in order to pour it hot over the sliced meat before serving.
