Savoring the Flavors of Argentina: A Hearty Beef Stew

A Twist on Tradition

Indulge in the rich flavors of Argentine cuisine with a twist on the classic carbonada criolla. Instead of braising the meat in beer, we’ll use a combination of leftover white wine and low-sodium beef broth for added depth of flavor. This convenient, hands-off approach ensures a delicious meal with minimal effort.

Serving Suggestions

Once cooked, serve this mouthwatering stew over brown rice, polenta, or potatoes for a satisfying meal. With a yield of 4-6 servings, it’s perfect for a family dinner or casual gathering with friends.
