Braised Beef in White Wine
The original title of this recipe was very misleading, called sirloin tips. First off, tips are scraps from roast cuts, aka, stew meat, but 'tips' seems to be the buzzword this year. The other misleading thing was the recipe called for a sirloin steak, cut into pieces, and those pieces suddenly became sirloin tips. I am not going to state any particular type of steak or cut to use, especially for where I live, just go with a cheap cut of beef. When I make this I will get exact measurements as well.
Ingredients
- 250 grams beef, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
- 2-3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- salt and pepper, as desired
- garlic powder, as desired
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4-6 fresh mushrooms, sliced, Shiitake would be nice
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup beef broth, fresh or from powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl, mix together the flour and salt, pepper, and garlic powder as desired. Toss the beef cubes in the flour.
- Heat the oil in a large non stick skillet, when hot, add the beef cubes and saute until just about rare to medium rare, just use the touch test to tell what is good to your liking.
- Add the onions and cook those until softened, then add the butter, then the mushrooms. stir everything around and when the mushrooms are wilted and starting to brown, remove everything from the pan and cover to keep warm.
- To the same pan add the wine and let that reduce a tittle bit then add the broth and bring to a boil, return the beef and vegetables to the pan and reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally, or until the beef is tender.
- When the beef is tender, mix together the cornstarch with a 2 tablespoons of cold water to make a slurry. Add to the skillet and stir in to thicken the sauce a little.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or rice and a vegetable for a complete meal.
Notes
Figure about 50 Baht for 250 grams of beef. For 2 servings, this is about 74 cents per serving.
