Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 to 3 pound beef brisket
  • 1 (750 ml) bottle Chianti wine
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (4-ounce) piece pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) kalamata olives, halved
  • 6 ounces green beans, halved
  • 4 medium red potatoes, quartered
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 sage leaves
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth

Directions

Place the beef in a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish. Pour the wine over the meat and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours. Turn the meat over and marinate for another 1 1/2 hours.

Remove the meat from the wine and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the wine.

In a large Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Season the meat on all sides with salt and pepper. Using tongs, place the meat in the pan and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Remove the meat and add the remaining oil. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring frequently for 2 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, garlic, olives, green beans, potatoes, rosemary, and sage. Cook for 3 minutes. Pour the reserved wine, tomatoes, and beef broth into the pan, scraping up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the meat to the pan and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover the pan and simmer for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until the meat is very tender.

Remove the meat and the rosemary sprigs from the stew. Place the meat on a cutting board and cut into quarters. Using 2 forks, shred the meat into bite-size pieces. Add the shredded meat to the stew and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

    Honestly, I don't understand where the bad reviews are coming from. I cooked the stew exactly as directed and loved it. I even purchased a dutch oven to make sure I had the right tools. Maybe it was not exactly only because I added 3 cloves of garlic, more salt and the meat marinated for over 24 hours. The meat was very red and flavorful. When I put the meat in the pot it was completely submerged in the liquid so it was tender, moist and juicy. I cooked it on low for the entire 3.5 hours without opening the lid. I liked the thin juice/liquid, it added to the uniqueness of the recipe and looked beautiful in my white bowls. Everyone thinks I am a Chef!

    I've never written a review before either but this recipe was excellent. As for the broth being a little runny I mixed a few table spoons of soft butter with equal amounts of flour creamed them together with a fork and put in a few spoons at a time till it was thick enough. Will definitly make again.
