So this is for one of those long nights. Where you want to just be home. Its cold outside and have no place to be. This recipe is a labor of love and test to your patience as well. Braised beef is just a absolute treat. Whether you make it or its made for you its something special and you know someone really took some time out for you. Its a lot of things but its no quick 30 minute meal no matter what you do. For me I always braise my beef on the stove in a Dutch oven rather than a pressure cooker because I like the meat to be fork tender but not too tender that its dissolved into the sauce. I want to be able to see the beef and all the other wonderful things in the sauce. Now although this dish Is technically one pot I do roast carrot on the side and I only did that this time because I found some wonderful tri color white, orange and purple carrots and wanted to showcases them and cooking them in the sauce would on turn them all brown. Now if you’re using regular orange carrots go ahead and put them in from the start. Just a side note this sauce can be served over any pasta, mashed potatoes or even rice. Hope y’all enjoy this recipe! We sure did.
