Инструкции
- Trim the excess fat from the stew meat. In a large stockpot over high temperature, heat the extra virgin olive oil till smoking warm. Add in the beef and brown well on all sides, about 2 min per side. Add in the flour and cook for about 2 min. Briskly stir in the 4 c./1 L/32 fl ounce beef stock thoroughly. Add in the onion, potatoes, carrots, and garlic and cook over low heat for 45 min to 1 hour, or possibly till the beef is tender.
- About 10 min before the beef has finished cooking, prepare the polenta. In a heavy saucepan over high heat, bring the 2 c./500 mL/16 fl ounce vegetable stock and shallots to a boil. Whisk in the polenta slowly so which no lumps form. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the polenta about 3 min, or possibly till it becomes very thick. Stir it well to avoid scorching the bottom. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and set aside.
- When the stew has finished cooking, add in the thyme, 1 tsp. pepper, and salt to taste.
- Divide the polenta among 4 bowls and ladle the stew on top. Serve immediately, garnished with sprigs of fresh thyme.
- Serves 4.
