Beef with Olives
Boeuf aux Olives


8 oz slab bacon
2 Tbsp olive oil You Can Order This Item: #2510
2 lbs stewing beef, cut in 2 inch cubes
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
1 cup dry red wine
1 onion
1 clove
1 Tbsp grated orange zest
1 bouquet garni (thyme, bay leaf, parsley)
1 lb potatoes, in thick slices
10 black olives You Can Order This Item: #2635
10 green olives You Can Order This Item: #2630

Blanch the bacon in boiling water for 5 mn, drain and cut into small cubes (lardons). Heat the oil in a large pot and brown the beef and the lardons at medium-high heat. Add the chopped garlic, salt and pepper to taste and the red wine. Bring to a boil, then add enough hot water to cover the meat. Add the onion picked with the clove, the orange zest and the bouquet garni. Cover and simmer for 1h30. Add the potatoes and cook another 15 mn, uncovered (the sauce should reduce but not completely evaporate). Add the olives and cook 15 mn more. Serve very warm.
