Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 kg chuck steak cut into even cubes
  • 750 grams onion boiler onions / eschallots / baby onions (peeled
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste heaped

FOR THE MARINADE:

  • ¾ cup red wine
  • 4 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 4 garlic peeled and thinly sliced, cloves
  • 2 bay leaf
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 5 clove whole
  • 2 teaspoons allspice berries
  • salt freshly cracked pepper
  • black pepper freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the chuck steak in a non reactive bowl along with the marinade and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or preferably overnight.
  2. Heat some olive oil in a large sauce pan and saute the eschalots for about 10 mins. We want them to soften a little and get lovely and caramelised. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  3. Saute the chuck steak until it has browned in the same saucepan. Add the onions back along with the marinade mixture, the tomato paste and enough water to cover everything.
  4. Bring to the boil and then leave to simmer for about 2 hours or until the sauce has a lovely rich, thick consistency.
  5. Serve with some plain steamed rice and a big glass of Aussie shiraz!
