Carne Estufada (Azorean Beef Casserole)

Submitted by momaphet

"This recipe is from an Azorean Food Blog. Carne Estufada is a delicious and flavorful beef casserole . It is simple it is to make with easy to find ingredients. Though it seems more like a main dish to me, in the islands is often enjoyed as a petisco, which is an appetizer for all to share. Time does not include marinating and the servings number depend on what course your serving."

Made this delicious and tender beef last night. I normally would not pair white wine with beef, but it really worked well. Loved the tangy taste that the wine and vinegar brought to the dish. I marinated the meat overnight and it just simmered on the stove until it was really tender.
