Medieval Italian Beef Stew – Peposo Notturno from the 15th Century!

🔥 600-Year-Old Tuscan Beef Stew – Peposo Notturno! 🍷🥩 Step back in time to the early 1400s and discover Peposo Notturno, a bold, peppery beef stew from Tuscany that dates back to the Renaissance! This rustic, slow-cooked dish was a favorite among Florentine artisans, possibly even Michelangelo himself! We start with chuck roast, cubed up for the perfect bite, and begin by roasting 10-15 whole garlic cloves in oil until beautifully fragrant. Once golden, we remove the garlic and sear the beef in the garlic-infused oil, locking in all that rich flavor. After setting the beef aside, we add a touch of tomato paste (a modern twist for extra depth!) before pouring in a full bottle of red wine per kilogram of meat. This helps release all those incredible caramelized bits from the pan, building a luxurious sauce. Now, we bring back the garlic and beef, adding three tablespoons of cracked black peppercorns (the signature of this dish!) and a pinch of salt. Then, it’s into the oven at 140°C (280°F) for 3-4 hours, allowing the meat to become fall-apart tender in a rich, velvety sauce. Traditionally served with toasted bread, this dish is deeply flavorful, spicy, and packed with history. It’s a must-try for Italian food lovers and anyone who appreciates the magic of slow-cooked comfort food. 🛑 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe if you love authentic, historical recipes! 🇮🇹🔥 Link to chuck eye roll break-down:    • Chuck Eye Roll Breakdown | Meal-prepping f...   ======================================= CEC on Instagram:   / cuttingedgegreece   CEC on TikTok:   / cuttingedgecooking   CEC on Facebook:   / anderssteensoerensen   Recipes at https://cuttingedgecooking.net ======================================= #recipe #foodie #cooking #greece #BBQ
