Easy Braised Beef Recipe (so tender)

Step 1

In a large pot (like soup pot) with lid add olive oil and chopped beef and sauté for 5-10 minutes. Then, add minced onion, garlic and carrots. Sauté for another 10 minutes under a lid until vegetables get softer. Stir frequently if needed.

Step 2

Next, add water/broth and bullion cube (if you use water I suggest you add bullion cube for taste), salt and pepper. Reduce the heat and let the meat cook but not boil. Let cook until meat is soft and tender - check with fork.

Step 3

Add more water/broth as needed throughout the cooking process. Make sure to add as much water as needed to keep beef just covered.

Step 4

Towards the end of cooking (e.g. 10 -15 minutes), in a small bowl add tbsp. of all purpose flour and a ladle (or two as needed) of the beef sauce. Beet well to avoid lumps. Then add the thick flour mix to the beef sauce and stir well.

Step 5

Serve warm with some chopped parsley and a side.
