Preparation:
Lightly salt & pepper the beef. Then toss in flour, shake off excess flour. In a 10" pan or larger,
sauté and brown the beef in enough oil to prevent sticking on a medium high heat. When
browned remove the meat from the skillet. Add the carrots, when they begin to brown, add the
ham and sausage and brown them also. Remove all from the skillet and keep together with the
beef. Now sauté the onions (add a bit of oil if needed), then the mushrooms after several minutes
and chopped garlic last. Add red wine and reduce the alcohol out of it. Next add your dry
seasonings, stock, tomatoes, tomato paste, prunes, apples, and all the meats & carrots. Bring to a
simmer, add the fresh thyme and cabbage, simmer for a few minutes and serve. For a duskier
flavor add porcini mushroom. The beef can be substituted with veal, venison, pork, or lamb.
Can be served with roasted or boiled potatoes.
