Peposo
(Peppery Stew)
Ingredients:
2.2 lbs (1 kg) chuck steak
6 cloves of garlic
3 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
One glass red wine
Salt
Black pepper
Directions:
Put the garlic, olive oil, wine, steak cut into cubes, salt and freshly ground pepper (at least a level soup spoon) into a large earthenware dish.
Cover completely with cold water, put on the lid and place in the oven, previously heated to 350° F (180° C). Cook for about two hours, checking that it does not dry out too much; if so, add a little warm water. The meat should be very tender by the end and the sauce well reduced and thick.
Peeled and diced tomatoes may be added to flavor the sauce. Serves 4.
