After preparing chicken with artichokes a while ago, I no longer put artichoke on my “not-to-eat list” 😀 (durian still on the list and I’m pretty sure will be there for as long as I live).
The beef with artichoke hearts is another absolutely delicious and hearty dish I prepared the other day. The beef is marinated overnight with red wine, thyme, onions and tomato. They are then slowly cooked until tender along with mushrooms and artichoke hearts. This is such a comforting dish. Pour this over cooked pasta or even with steamed rice and you won’t be disappointed.
BEEF WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs of beef for stew/braising (cut into large chunks)
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup dry red wine
- ½ cup water
- 4 oz button mushrooms
- 12 oz can/jar of artichoke hearts (cut into small chunks)
Marinade:
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Small bunch of fresh thyme
- 1 onion (roughly chopped)
- ½ cup dry red wine
- 2 Tbsp tomato puree
- 1 tsp of cayenne pepper
- 1 garlic clove (peeled and crushed)
- Pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the beef along with the marinade ingredients in a glass dish to be marinated overnight
- The next day, lift the beef out of the marinade and reserve the marinade juice. Heat the oil in a large pot. Brown the beef in small batches. Don't overcrowd the pot or the beef won't be browning properly. Do this until you have browned all the beef and set aside. Stir in the all-purpose flour, marinade liquid, red wine and water. Stir to mix everything. Place the beef back in there, bring it to a boil and then cover and lower the heat to let it simmer for the next 2 hours or until the beef is tender
- After the beef is tender, add in the mushrooms and artichoke hearts and cook for another 30 minutes. Bring it to a boil again and the sauce should be quite thick. Have a taste and add more salt if needed
- Pour over cooked pasta or serve with steamed rice if you prefer
