👨🍳 步驟
- 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.
💡 專業提示: 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.
💡 專業提示: 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. Sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
💡 專業提示: 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.
💡 專業提示: 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.
💡 專業提示: Alternatively, braise in a preheated oven at 160°C (325°F). - 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.
💡 專業提示: 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.
💡 專業提示: 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.
💡 專業提示: This dish often tastes even better the next day.

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