Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups Arborio Rice or any other Risotto rice
- 1 ½ pounds beef we used stew meat
- ¼ cups unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoons basil
- 1 Tablespoons marjoram
- 1 Tablespoons oregano
- 1 Tablespoons rosemary
- 1 Tablespoons thyme
- 1 cups dry white wine
- 6 cups beef broth
- Salt & freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Season your meat, cut it up and then brown slowly over medium heat in a large skilket. Once browned, remove the meat from the skillet and set aside.
- In that skillet, melt the butter and add the chopped onion. When it turns a golden color, add the wine to the skillet and allow it to cook until it evaporates.
- As soon as its evaporated, add the pieces of beef, with garlic, all Italian herbs and onions to the skillet. Use a little olive oil to kinda loosen everything and cook it up.
- Add the beef broth. Add the rice. Cover and simmer for about an hour or more. Stir OFTEN!
- When the rice reaches the al dente stage remove it from the stove and sprinkle pepper over the top.
- You can also sprinkle Parmesan cheese in too, but its not necessary. It's delicious either way! Serve immediately.
