- Olive oil
- 2 red onions, peeled and roughly chopped
- 3 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
- 3 sticks celery, trimmed and roughly chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- A few sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- A handful of dried porcini mushrooms
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 1/4 pounds shin of beef, bone removed, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 fourteen-ounce cans plum tomatoes
- Two-thirds of a 750-ml bottle of Chianti
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F. In a heavy-bottomed ovenproof saucepan, heat a splash of olive oil; gently fry the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, herbs, mushrooms, and cinnamon for 5 minutes-until softened slightly.
- Meanwhile, toss the pieces of beef in a little seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Add the meat to pan; stir all together. Add the tomatoes, wine, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently bring to a boil, cover with a double thickness of aluminum foil and a lid; place in oven for 3 hours or until beef is meltingly tender and can be broken up with a spoon.
- Taste-check the seasoning; remove the cinnamon stick and resmary sprigs. Serve.
