Ingredients
for Beef with Peas
750g stewing beef
2 onions
3 cloves garlic
Glass white wine
200g fresh peas or fresh frozen
Sweet paprika
Medium red pepper
Brandy
Salt and pepper
How
to make Beef with Peas
-
Cut the beef into bite sized chunks and place into
a large bowl. Peel and crush the garlic, mix with
the beef and leave in the fridge for about an hour.
- Season
the beef with a little salt and pepper then heat some
olive oil in a casserole dish (an earthenware cazuela
is ideal) and brown the beef.
- Remove
the beef with a slotted spoon and set aside. Use the
same oil to brown the chopped onion. Then add the
meat again and add a teaspoon of sweet paprika, half
a glass of white wine and a dash of brandy.
- Mix
well, lower the heat and cook slowly for an hour or
so until the beef is tender.
- Blanch
the peas in boiling water for a few minutes, drain
and refresh.
- Add
the peas and cook for another 5 minutes or so.
- Serve
with thin strips of red pepper and boiled potatoes
on the side.
