I made this yesterday but used sirloin steak because I needed to get it cooked quicker. I also added 2 packages of baby bella mushrooms, cut in half. Really happy with the outcome. TY (I did add some corn starch slurry with a shot of roasted garlic "better than bouillon" sauce in the slurry.)

Definitely polenta takes a long time, my mum always complained of the time it took to make. Pro tip from Italy: if you have extra (or make extra!) Put it in a rectangular container and let it go hard in the fridge. Then you can slice it like 1-2cm thick and grill it in a grill pan or ideally on the bbq. Then top it with sauces or stuff. It’s traditional here to serve your bbq with grilled polenta, or my mum would make it “fake pizza” and put a bit of sauce and mozzarella on top as a starter/side in the days following the Sunday polenta+stew

[@bostonceltics727]

This looks amazing. When I was in Florence in May, I had Peposo in the Mercato Centrale and it was unbelievable. I asked the kind gentlemen how they prepared it and they marinate an entire beef shank overnight in chianti, black peppercorns, juniper berries, and fresh bay leaves. Then they braised in that same mixture. I had it shredded on a sandwich and it was offered with a sauce that was like a thin, spicy salsa verde. One of my favorite things I had on the trip.

[@SipandFeast]

Yes beef shank is more traditional. I think chuck is a really good alternative for most people. I like the green sauce idea to balance out the rich beef.

[@secretforreddit]

Yum, the Mercato Centrale is one of the best food spots in Italy, and that sounds like an amazing version of this stew!

[@dreamingrightnow1174]

That sounds amazing. Was it a slow simmer? Some people use rosemary, but I'd guess the juniper berries would give a similar effect.

[@bostonceltics727]

[@frankvehafric5062]

I just made this and it's in the fridge now, waiting for tomorrow's dinner. One of the commenters mentioned that when he was in Florence they used juniper berries in it as well. I wish I had known about the juniper berries, because, since he mentioned it, they sound kind of perfect to go in this. I've also been thinking of this in a sandwich, like a Tuscan beef dip, if I can find the right crusty rolls in my small town. I made mine in a ceramic coated dutch oven in the oven, 2.5 hours at 325 covered, 1 hour at 325 uncovered. Came out perfect and no fussing with it on the stove top waiting for it to burn.

[@sahej6939]

Yeah. Should have. I’m actually making it now and my electric burner in my cast iron dutch oven reduced it and has it sticking at stirring every 30. Hopefully it turns out okay.

[@donna7338]

Love the recipe. Will try it. Hint: Regarding the use of salt, if a person has to cut down on their salt intake due to high blood pressure or kidney problems, MSG provides the same saltiness and flavor enhancement that salt gives to a recipe, but without the problems salt gives. I know MSG has a bad rap with many people, but I think many who say to stay clear of MSG are ignorant of the facts. They just are unreasonably influenced by popular belief. They should do their own research. MSG shouldn't be maligned as it has been.

[@MichaelJames-lz7ni]

One of the techniques I've seen used is to take the 'cooked' garlic you had in the pot and mash it up with two tablespoons of tomato paste to form a smooth 'butter' to apply to the beef. Once applied, you have a 'binder' for the freshly-cracked peppercorns. The pepper is a 'dry-rub' for the beef - it isn't dumped into the wine. The peppered beef cubes are then placed into the wine to steep and cook - you don't have to brown the beef if you don't want-to.

[@rhondanegrete7153]

With polenta, the cooking time and ratio of water to grain are both going to vary significantly based on how coarse the grind is. It might be 20m or it might be 60min, you just have to taste it along the way (this is strictly assuming no one is using “instant” versions).

[@mansfieldfamily5389]

Someone in my family has a corn allergy so no polenta, but we threw these ingredients in a crock pot and it was AMAZING. It was so good. We had to use mostly beef broth and some red wine because I didn't have very much red wine on hand, but with the whole amount of red wine I think it would have been among the top 5 dishes ever. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

[@joelzdepski9884]

Looks really good. I would recommend everyone standardize on wines they use to cook with - not the label, but variety. Personally, if it is Red, I am using Petit Syrah. They are good at a low price, are neither too fruity nor too tannin. That means if you cook it for 3 hours like this recipe will not yield a sauce that is to jammy or astringent. I use Sauvignon Blanc if it white, good acid and not tannin, even in California wines (where Chardonnay can be very oaky, so it results in astringent sauces.)

[@1b1uster]

This looks amazing! I’m going to use crockpot after browning … no fuss, no muss. Also, unless going to a custom butcher, Costco has the best chuck roast on the planet.

[@toddchaddon4249]

This was delicious. I didn't know what to expect at first never having it before, but the strong pepper taste grew on me quickly. The only thing I did differently from the video was I salted the chuck roast with kosher salt on both sides and set it on a rack in the fridge for about 7 hours, treating it like a steak. Turned out great!

[@delaineymacphearson6850]

Salting and fringing is a step I did not know about,ty.

[@robertTUBEbrazeau]

yep,the kid is right. it’s perfect but needs a bit more salt, right? i’d have used more salt on the chuck before the sear and likely adjusted the seasoning of the sauce at the end as well. serving this with a starch like polenta or mash potato requires more salt than you think. the dish as a whole will be flat without it… be nice with fresh chopped flat parsley tossed just before serving

[@JoshDragRace0688]

@@robertTUBEbrazeau I bet it was plenty salty on the outside and with the sauce, but once you got into the middle of the pieces it weakened in flavor. The dry brining really does get that salt into that meat deep. Even just a few hours is good, doesn't have to be 7.

[@maddierosemusic]

@@JoshDragRace0688 I have started pre-salting all of my meat w/ Kosher salt up to a day in advance and it certainly boosts the flavor. The salt initially draws moisture OUT of the meat and then by osmosis it drags that moisture - and salt with it - back inside.

A Finnish guy living in Spain says hello! This is a good basic recipe for any Mediterranean stews regardless of the meat. In this area (incl. Spain, Italy, Greece, etc) all stews are based on the same principle recipe and only meat and vegetables vary. For example we make a red wine based stew with peppers (similar to yours) every winter, but we use pork cheeks and ox tail, since they are very affordable meats around here. Also pork ribs can be used. The end result is a ragú, which you can stored in the freezer and served with pasta or fresh baked bread.

And a meatball recipe. I thought each dish was at least nine 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋. Making this delightful dish this weekend. Thank you for all your dedication and hard work.

Thanks very much and welcome to the channel.

Me too. Don't know what to make first 😀

@@cheflady9838 His bolognese recipes is incredible. Also, the stuffed peppers. Pretty much every recipe of his I’ve used turned out exceptional.

I like how nice you are with your son. It's easy to see he loves being around you and your passion for the kitchen. It's also nice to see how much you also love him being there with you.

One of the best cooking channels on youtube. You guys kick ass!

This will definitely be a staple this fall/winter. Also just ordered the kit from Ghia!

That's what I love about Italian food: It is really simple, but so tasty and flavourful... I make Chef John's version of peposo on a regular basis and my wife just LOVES it, especially with polenta on the side. I love it with roasted rosemary potatoes. I have to try your version, too, as it is even simpler than Chef John's version...

My mom never used wine in anything, but did a stew very close to this. Great!

[@RonLo]

What did she use instead of wine?

[@curbyourshi1056]

I love how you just kinda wing it with the recipes. Simple, relaxed and most likely very tasty.

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

Love this! Simple ingredients, easy technique. Any excuse for polenta!

[@henrytsao1]

simple, no fancy editing, it is all about the food. Love this channel

Our household help back in the '70's made a beef stew that was legend among several of the neighborhood families who employed her. She used pre-ground pepper but she used probably a good 1/3 cup. And her cooking method so intensified that pepper. My family and friends still sing her praises nearly 50 years later. Going to try this dish in her honor.

I made this two days after this video happened upon my feed. And it has been dinner for the last 3 days. It's delicious, EASY, simple easy to get ingredients. requires on pot, and KETO. Such a perfect dish.

[@ygltazanya]

Made this again, added more black pepper, this dish DOES NOT MISS< so easy.

[@imhangryyall]

Looks ridiculous, sir! I'm definitely going to make this soon. Thanks for making it! I just want to drink that sauce all on its own.

[@jimjim7708]

Looks delicious. If you salt the meat then let it rest it will draw out moisture that mixes with the salt then pulls it back into the meat so you don't lose the moisture.

[@foo8lover]

I wonder if we could use a crock pot to cook this? With a newborn, I want to find recipes that can cook themselves without a lot of intervention and safe to leave them without supervision

[@SipandFeast]

You definitely can. Just check it every so often for tenderness.

[@foo8lover]

@C How was it? :)

[@Stillpoint23]

I am thinking of doing the same with the addition of roots, tubers, onions, and celery using this recipe as the base. You can use any cut of beef when using a crock pot like London broil, or any roast. The sky's the limit. Ive never used his technique of infusing the oil and meat with garlic so im excited to try that :)

[@Buzz0216]

@@Stillpoint23 you just got yourself beef bourguignon ☺️

[@daisycocoa2557]

I did, came out great.

[@zedudli]

Nice stew man 👍🏻 i make a version of this all the time, but i let the meat marinade in the red wine overnight, with salt. It helps the meat retain its juices and it will tenderize it. This technique will get out the most from cheap, fatty cuts, but a good long wine bath will enhance texture and flavor of just about any piece of meat. I even put the vegetables in the wine marinade overnight and then broil them as a side

[@charlyandco.4488]

It reminds me of the french Bœuf Bourguignon, you should try it if you haven't already, it's absolutely delicious !
