Carne Gobernada - Asturian-Style Beef in White Wine Sauce

Serves 5-6.

Trim fat and gristle from beef and cut into small cubes, about 1/2-inch in size.

Peel and finely chop onions. Peel and mince garlic.

Place meat in a bowl and mix in salt and minced garlic. Allow meat to sit in garlic for 5-10 minutes before cooking.

In a large frying pan or casserole pan, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil Add meat and sauté cubes on medium heat until brown on all sides. Add onion and stir. Add 8 oz of white wine and simmer slowly.

Simmer meat and onions on low heat, making sure not to burn the onions. If more liquid is needed add rest of wine and/or 4 oz of water. Cook until meat cubes are tender, checking the pan often so meat and onions do not burn. It may take an hour for meat to become tender.

Serve with fried potatoes.
