Ingredients 

  • 2 lb (900g) beef chuck (or stew beef)
  • 2 large onions, sliced into half rings
  • 4.5 oz (120g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 10 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/3 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp vinegar
  • fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the beef. Trim excess surface fat and cut the beef into large, even chunks.
  • Layer the ingredients. Place the beef in a large, deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot. Top evenly with sliced onions, then add pieces of butter and pour in the water.
  • Cover with a lid and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 1 hour, allowing the beef to slowly tenderize and release its juices.
  • Add garlic and seasonings. Remove the lid and add the chopped garlic, salt, sugar, black pepper, and vinegar. Stir gently to combine.
  • Cover again and continue cooking over low heat at a gentle simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beef is fork-tender and the sauce is silky and glossy.
  • Finish with parsley. Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the garlic butter beef just before serving.
