Beef Hare recipe
information
Although chuck steak is a tougher cut, it should be lean and not too fatty. When cooked slowly and cleverly spiced it comes up meltingly tender and, in this recipe, has a gamey flavour rather like hare.
ingredients
plain flour, to coat
salt and pepper
freshly grated nutmeg
900g (2 lb) chuck steak, cut into 7.5 x 2.5 cm
(3 x 1 inch) strips
5 ml (1 tbsp) celery seeds
8 cloves
1 medium onion, skinned and quartered
1 small young parsnip, peeled and grated
150 ml (1/4 pint) dry red wine
salt and pepper
freshly grated nutmeg
