Beef Bites in white wine and shallot
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the white wine and shallot elements, and pat the beef dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the beef. Cover and cook low and slow, stirring now and then, until rich and spoonable.

Stir in the dry white wine and the rest of the white wine and shallot flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the kale along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
