This Italian beef casserole is all about steak, vegies and red wine cooked slow. Bellissimo!⁠

Ingredients

1.5kg gravy beef steak, cut into 6cm pieces

Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground pepper, to season

2 Tbsp plain flour

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 brown onions, finely diced

2 carrots, cut into 2cm-thick rounds

750ml white wine

¼ cup tomato paste

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 sprigs oregano

2 sprigs basil, plus extra, to garnish

1 fresh bay leaf

1 Tbsp baby capers

½ long red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped

1 small red capsicum, diced into 1cm pieces

1 zucchini, halved lengthways, thinly sliced

Cooked polenta, to serve

Finely grated parmesan, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 140°C fan-forced (160°C conventional). Put beef in a large bowl and season. Add flour and toss to coat.

  2. Heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in a large heavy-based ovenproof saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add ½ of the beef and cook, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes or until browned all over. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining oil and beef. 

  3. Return beef to pan with onion and carrot. Stir in wine, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, basil, bay leaf, capers and chilli. Bring to the boil. Cover with lid and transfer to oven. Cook for 3½ hours.

  4. Remove pan from oven. Stir through capsicum and zucchini. Cover and cook for a further 20 minutes.

  5. Serve on a bed of polenta, sprinkled with parmesan and garnished with extra basil.
