今日のディナーは、ビーフの赤ワイン煮にしました。ビーフの赤ワイン煮は作るときの気分で違う作り方をしています、今日は以前1度作っていて簡単で美味しかったので行正り香さんのグーラッシュのレシピを参考にしました。レシピは前回作った時にアップしていますがグーラッシュにはしたくなかったので、パプリカは入れず。とても柔らかくとても美味しく出来ました。メインが重めなので付け合わせはあっさりと、茹でた新じゃが、人参、いんげん。わたしたちはソースがビーフに絡まる濃度が欲しいので、最後にコーンスターチとお水を混ぜたもので少しとろみをつけています。
Today’s dinner was Beef In Red Wine. I tend to decide how to cook “beef in red wine” depending on the day’s mood, sometimes I don’t look at any recipe and just wing it, sometimes I decide to follow a particular recipe, but often I follow a recipe but make some small changes. Today, I followed a recipe from a Japanese lady – the recipe is here – because I remembered it was easy and tasty. As I didn’t want it to be Goulash I omitted paprika. The beef was very tender and tasty. We like the sauce to be thick enough to coat the beef so I added a mixture of corn starch and water at the end and let it cook a little before serving and it worked very well. The side dishes are simply boiled new potatoes, carrots & green beans. The beef has quite strong flavour and is on the heavy side so we prefer to keep the side dishes very simple and light.
