Beef in red wine | Kukskitchen

Beef is an all-time-favourite in our households. It usually gets pressure cooked with spices and then dried in oil for a crispy effect. Beef in red wine is slow cooked, making the beef extra tender and full of flavour.






































A few things before you start:

Use aluminium foil over the pan to get a tight seal. If serving for kids, avoid red wine and top it up with more stock. Serve with freshly baked bread rolls. Here is how I made it.
