Peposo - Tuscan Black Pepper Beef - Food Wishes

[@foodwishes]

Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/261791/Peposa-DellImpruneta-Tuscan-Black-Pepper-Beef/

[@LissaDIY]

Mine is very tasty but too hot for my liking from the peppercorns. Is there a way to make it less hot? A special kind of pepper? Maybe in the us the pepper is different? My black pepper is just kind of hot and it made the whole dish bitter. (if you cook black pepper it gets bitter that's why you use it only after cooking i was always told) Next time i'll skip it because other than that - the taste, the texture, the color of the dish was perfect. I learned a lot from it so thank you for that! And polenta is perfect for it i wouldn't have it any other way.

There's not a single source for cooking, either on the web or on print, that I have used so many recipes as I have from FoodWishes. Your channel and web site have improved my cooking game 100 fold in the last 5 years or so since discovering you. I don't even look up some recipes anymore. Your information has made me a better freehand cook even. I almost never eat out anymore. Even when we do, it pales in comparison to what we make at home. Just wanted to give you the props you deserve, Chef John.

Since you seem to love italian recipes, you should do a "Patate riso e cozze", which is something typical of my ends (southern Italy). It'd be cool to see your version since it is a tricky dish to get right.

[@ChristopherMB87]

I love this recipe so much. To add more intense meat flavor, I actually make the liquid half wine and half beef stock, and add anchovy paste and a handful of mushrooms to cook with it

[@lunnalocca9376]

This comment is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

[@disf5178]

I think i screwed it up, cuz it's the sort of dish i should love..but, i felt like the flavor was just too strong. And, it was more from the wine than the pepper..(maybe i used the wrong wine..a cheap cab) so, i bet your modification(1/2 stock) would improve the flavor bigtime. Unless you think i in fact used the wrong wine choice?

[@teedub9295]

And I have to add thyme and a bit of red pepper too. I agree with the 50/50 wine/stock or demi glace.

[@clintondavis3363]

​@@disf5178 My two cents worth is that recipes like this (which is similar to "braised short ribs") can get too strong for many a palette, and not everyone likes the texture of short ribs, as well. Note when Chef John starts pulling off chunks of the beef to eat, you can see some connective tissue that has not broken down - my wife would have a problem with that texture. I find that long reductions of large quantities of a wine and beef stock mixture can get a bit bitter. Helen Rennie, on her channel, suggests a red wine with moderate tannin and acidity, noting that the wine will reduce quite a bit and may get bitter. You can also use a dry white wine. Myself, I just go easy on the amount of wine. I think that the tomato paste and garlic can add bitterness too, so be careful not to burn those types of ingredients. Store-bought beef stock should be low sodium, but might also get a bit strong tasting upon reduction. You can use beef broth and a bit of gelatin to be safe. If you find that the sauce you made did get bitter, you may be able to save it by adding some water to dilute it, as well as some sugar to balance the sweet. You may need to adjust for salt. Just some thoughts - best wishes

[@danielwilson3671]

Good comment! I haven't made it yet, but I was concerned that so much wine might be overpowering! I'll follow your suggestion and also mix with a homemade brown beef stock :)

Just wanted to share. We have made this dish several times now and it is hands down an absolute favorite in my household. It gets asked for often, and have even shared it with friends who have informed us to invite them over next time we make it. This is also absolutely amazing with moose meat (we're located in Saskatchewan, Canada) and we always pair it with that perfect polenta. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

[@kevinmoor26]

Dear Chef John, I was taught the basics of cooking by my grandmother, M. Mariadne de Morton almost sixty years ago. Thanks to talented people like her, yourself and Jacques Pepin who share their gifts with the world, I am still able to surprise and provide my friends and relatives with wonderful meals. More rewarding than any cook-book; more entertaining than many novels, your videos are a remarkable resource and a boon to those old enough to be rude to waiters in French restaurants.

[@KCFlyer2]

I made this twice...once for me alone and once for my daughter who was visiting. Her comments - this is freaking awesome. I can't disagree. I modified it just a little - I put some diced tomatoes in and I chopped some of the sage and rosemary and rubbed it onto the meat with the garlic and tomato paste. I was a little timid the first time with the pepper, but not the second time...if you want to try this - don't be shy about using the pepper. It is...well...freaking awesome. And just because it takes 3 hours doesn't mean it's hard. Just drink some Chianti while waiting!

[@rogermason4203]

Made this dish yesterday. Can't believe how flavorful and tender this came out with just a handful of ingredients and about 2 hours of patience. The rosemary, wine and garlic gave a lot of flavor, and the black pepper kind of melted in the dish (except for one that I guess escaped the crushing step) and gave a little kick of heat in the dish. I would make this dish again and again. Thank you.

His channel is dedicated to historical reenactments of colonial era America but he has his own cooking series called "18th Century Cooking" and despite the name he does tons of old recipes dating from the middle ages up to the 1800s

His speaking is always hilarious. It's always like alternate sentences ending on high note. Tell me you can't unhear this "We'll go ahead and add a pinch of salt. Now we will add a little bit of garlic."

[@phillipsmom6252]

It annoying, not hilarious.

[@jamesteh2729]

Thankyou. I Love this recipe. I added a bottle of red wine and tomatoes during the slow cook part and stirred in some creme fraiche at the end .. served on pasta... my new favorite dish to cook for friends

[@gernblenstein1541]

Very nice! I had to turn up my brightness to full volume to get a good look at all that dark goodness at the end! Bravo, chef!

[@amarit2519]

I bet it'd taste amazing with mash potatoes.

[@RivetGardener]

That's what I was thinking because Mrs Rivet doesn't like polenta.

[@dpmaspam]

who does :)

You are the *Kansas City Chief* of your *Black Pepper Beef* You are the *Sebastian Ingrosso* of your *Peposo*

[@CM_Burns]

Jeff, you are the Beef Brisket of your God of Biscuit.

[@CM_Burns]

Ingrosso is a Swede of Italian descent. After all, you are the Robert Doe of your Joe Blow.

I wonder if you could use Ox tail.

[@Cimberly5]

RUBIZEN absolutely!

[@RUBIZEN]

I actually made this a couple days ago. I used the beef ribs and some boneless chuck roast. It came out good. The ribs were more tender due to more fat than the chuck. I didn't have polenta so I made some potato cakes from left over mashed potatos. Put the meat and juices over the potato pancakes. Very good. I am going to use beef shank next time.

[@LoveRonnelid]

Coming back to rewatch this, even before having tried it. Thanks for these fantastic vids!

[@Sant182]

Today will be the fourth time I do this dish. It's one of my favorites. The wine and pepper sauce is succulent.

[@farazkarim4702]

Chef John, where the FUCK is the cayenne?

[@gwynjudd]

Faraz Karim I know right. Chef john blink twice if you have been taken hostage

[@truetekkit]

Dude it was a joke, i don't think he was expecting an answer.

[@farazkarim4702]

Zulbak if u have been watching chef john for years you would know that he is obsessed w cayenne and literally puts it in everything so most people understood my confusion when i dont see cayenne; it was simply a joke dumbass

[@jcampbell7619]

And there were no hot peppers in Italy before Columbus either!

[@alexandrpetrov1110]

Your information has made me a better freehand cook even. I almost never eat out anymore. Even when we do, it pales in comparison to what we make at home.

Can't wait to try this! I have tried so many of your recipes and actually am working on a giant folder of only "Chef John" recipes printed out (via all recipes). I am also in the process of watching every single one of your videos that are still available via your site during my lunch hours- started this summer. I am up to 2015, but have watched about every one of the past 2 years as you posted them. My food wish: My grandma's cousin (Sicilian) always made the best Italian cookies, but the recipe died with her- so many of those old Italians took their recipes to the grave. Did your grandma or mother have a secret "Italian cookie" recipe, since Christmas is coming? Thanks!

[@Mr4stringer]

Same here ... I have made countless of Chef John recipes over the years.

[@dianezimmerman4434]

I LOVE black pepper. And beef. Gonna have to try this.

[@cbcalk]

Tried it. Loved it! That's going to become a favorite at my place. Thank you.
