Spanish Beef with Green Olives

This Spanish beef recipe is one of only a few traditional beef recipes from Spain. Meat dishes tend to be predominantly pork and lamb and in Andalucia it is rare to find beef recipes on the menu. The use of olives in this dish adds some real Spanish flavour and compliments the beef extremely well.

You will need:

1kg Beef (topside is good) cut into steaks
1 Large onion diced
1 Green pepper diced
2 tbsp Plain flour
Red wine
Olive oil
1 Jar pitted green olives halved

Method

• Fry the beef steaks to seal then add to a casserole dish.

• Saute the onion and pepper, add flour and cook for 2 minutes before transferring to the casserole dish with the beef.

• Add 2 glasses of red wine and 500mls of water and cook for 1 hour

• Add the olives and cook for a further 20 minutes

• Serve piping hot.
