Steps

80 minutes

1

Chop the onion, peel the carrots and cut them into small pieces, and grate the tomatoes.
2

In a pot, add olive oil and brown the beef. Season with salt to taste and stir.
3

Once the beef is browned, remove it from the pot and set aside.
4

In the same pot, sauté the onion. Once softened, add the chopped carrots and cook for about 5 minutes.
5

After the carrots are cooked, add the peas. Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour and mix well.
6

Add the grated tomatoes, mix, and cook for 3-4 minutes. After 3-4 minutes, pour in the red wine, mix well, and let it cook for 2 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate.
7

Return the reserved beef to the pot, mix well, and add 2 cups of water (about 480 ml).
8

Once the water is added, season with a pinch of black pepper and nutmeg (optional), and adjust the salt to taste before covering.
9

Simmer over medium heat until the meat is tender and soft (about 1 hour).

Serve as is. I like to enjoy it with some French fries or a bit of mashed potatoes.
