- Remove the bay leaves and season the stew with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the hearty beef stew with a splash of red wine and enjoy!
Hearty Beef Stew with a splash of red wine has a rich history dating back to medieval Europe, where it was a staple among peasants and nobility alike. The addition of red wine adds depth and complexity to the stew, elevating it to a gourmet dish. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Gordon Ramsay have popularized this recipe, infusing it with their own unique twists. In regions like France and Italy, this dish is a beloved classic, often enjoyed with a crusty baguette or creamy polenta. Today, the best versions of this stew can be found in cozy bistros and family-owned trattorias, where it's simmered to perfection. The key to getting this dish right lies in using quality beef, fresh vegetables, and a robust red wine to enhance the flavors. For a famous alternative method, some chefs recommend marinating the beef in red wine before cooking to infuse it with even more richness.
