1/2 cup of dry white wine
1 tablespoon of wheat flour
1 cup of boiling water
4 potatoes peeled and halved
1/2 sprig of rosemary
3 grated and cut carrots
1 can of peas
to taste salt
Take a pot and heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil
When it's hot, quickly brown the beef in four batches at a time
Transfer the beef to a bowl, add some more olive oil to the pot if needed, then sauté the onion and garlic until golden
Add the cut tomatoes and cook until the liquid has evaporated
Lower the heat, season with salt and pepper, rosemary, and wheat flour
Stir well until the flour is golden
Return the beef to the pot, add 1 cup of boiling water, and mix well
Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2 hours or until the beef is tender
For the last 30 minutes, add the carrots and potatoes
If needed, add more boiling water
Just before serving, add the peas and stir well
Serve four portions hot, preferably on a cold winter's day, because: nothing beats a good stew to warm up with some friends.
