- 4 medium red potatoes, halved
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 2 sage leaves
- 1 can (425 g) canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
Preparation:
- Place the beef in a 22x32 cm glass baking dish. Pour the wine over the meat and marinate in the refrigerator for 1.5 hours. Then turn the meat over and marinate for another 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Remove the meat from the wine and pat dry with paper towels. Do not pour out the wine.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the meat with salt and pepper on all sides. Using tongs, place the brisket in the pan and sear on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Add the meat and the remaining olive oil to the pan. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, garlic, olives, green beans, potatoes, rosemary, and sage. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Pour in the wine, tomatoes, and beef broth and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the meat to the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover and simmer for 3-3.5 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
- Remove the meat and rosemary sprigs from the stew. Place the meat on a cutting board and cut into quarters. Using two forks, shred the meat. Add the shredded beef to the stew and cook for about 5 minutes.
