Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Tomato paste |
| 3/4 | cup Port wine |
| 3/4 | teaspoon Salt |
| 2 | cups All-purpose flour |
| 1/4 | teaspoon Dried thyme |
| 1 | tablespoon Olive oil |
| 2 | Onions |
| 2 | Potatoes |
| 1 | Green apple |
| 4 | Beef chunks |
| 2 | Veal sausages |
Instructions:
-
Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare Tomato Mixture: In a 4-quart casserole dish, combine the tomato paste, port wine, salt, and 1 1/2 cups of water. Set aside.
-
Coat Beef Chunks: In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and dried thyme. Coat the beef chunks with this flour mixture.
-
Brown Beef: In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the coated beef chunks and cook until browned on all sides. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef from the skillet and transfer it to the tomato mixture in the casserole dish.
-
Bake Beef Mixture: Cover the casserole dish and bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours.
-
Cook Onions: In the same skillet used for browning the beef, add a bit more olive oil if needed, and cook the onions until browned and tender. Set aside.
-
Prepare Sausage, Potatoes, and Apples: During the last 15 minutes of baking the beef, cut the veal sausages into bite-sized pieces. Also, slice the unpeeled potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices and cut the unpeeled apples into thin wedges.
-
Layer Ingredients: Once the beef has baked for 1 1/2 hours, remove the casserole dish from the oven. Layer half of the potato slices, half of the sausage pieces, and half of the apple wedges over the beef mixture. Repeat the layering process.
-
Moisten with Liquid: Using a spoon, gently push the layered ingredients into the liquid in the casserole dish until the potatoes are completely covered. Sprinkle with the remaining dried thyme.
-
Final Bake: Cover the casserole dish again and bake for an additional 1 1/4 hours, or until the beef and potatoes are tender.
-
