- 1
Marinate the beef: Pierce the beef all over with a sharp knife and insert slivers of garlic and bacon into the holes. Place the beef in a large bowl or container. Pour over the red wine, add bay leaves, cloves, and juniper berries. Cover and refrigerate for 24-48 hours, turning the meat occasionally.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Using a good quality dry red wine is essential for flavor. - 2
Remove beef from marinade, reserving the marinade. Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Drying the meat helps achieve a better sear. - 3
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until deeply browned. Remove beef and set aside.
- 4
Add the chopped onions and carrots to the pot. Sautรฉ until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. - 5
Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 6
Return the beef to the pot. Add the prunes and pour in the reserved marinade and beef broth. The liquid should come about halfway up the sides of the beef.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: If needed, add more broth or water to reach the desired level. - 7
Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot tightly and reduce heat to low. Braise for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Alternatively, braise in a preheated oven at 160ยฐC (325ยฐF). - 8
Once tender, remove the beef from the pot and let it rest. Strain the sauce, discarding solids. Skim off excess fat from the sauce.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: For a smoother sauce, you can blend it briefly. - 9
Slice the beef thinly against the grain. Return the slices to the sauce and simmer gently for another 15-20 minutes to allow the meat to absorb the flavors.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: The sauce should be rich and slightly thickened. If too thin, simmer uncovered to reduce. - 10
Serve hot, typically with gnocchi, mashed potatoes, or polenta.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: This dish often tastes even better the next day.

- โThe long marinating time is key to tenderizing the meat and infusing it with flavor.
- โDon't rush the braising process; low and slow is essential for a tender result.
- โAdjust the sweetness by adding more or fewer prunes.
