A daube is a classic aromatic beef braise from the South of France, but here it's crossed with Spanish flavors to offer a new twist on this comfort-food classic. Although one cup may seem like a lot of sherry, its flavors are muted once cooked, and it lends the dish a distinctively Spanish flair. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
3 pounds bottom round roast, trimmed |
2 cups thinly vertically sliced yellow onion |
3/4 cup thinly sliced bottled roasted red bell pepper |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon spanish smoked paprika |
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads |
1 cup dry sherry |
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as tabasco) |
2 cups fat-free, less-sodium beef broth |
1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley |
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 tablespoon water |
Directions:
1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add beef to pan; cook 5 minutes, browning on all sides. Remove beef from pan.
2. Recoat pan with cooking spray. Add onion to pan; sauté 4 minutes or until tender. Add bell pepper and garlic; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add salt and next 5 ingredients (through saffron); cook 30 seconds or until fragrant, stirring constantly. Stir in sherry and hot pepper sauce, scraping pan to loosen browned bits; cook 4 minutes or until liquid is reduced by about half. Add beef and broth to pan; bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours or until beef is tender.
3. Remove beef from pan; cool slightly. Cut beef across grain into thin slices; cover and keep warm.
4. Add peas, parsley, and vinegar to pan; cook 5 minutes. Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; stir cornstarch mixture into broth mixture. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute. Add sliced beef; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated.
