Ingredient Substitution Guide

directions

Step 1

Combine marinade ingredients in a shallow baking dish. Immerse meat in marinade. Cover and marinate in fridge for one day or up to two days. Turn often.

Step 2

Remove meat from marinade. Dredge meat in flour. Season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large casserole or pot on high. Brown meat for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pot and set aside. Add to the same pot over medium heat the blanched pear onions. Sauté until golden, approximately 8 to10 minutes. Add the pancetta. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until golden and crisp. Add the browned meat, wine and stock. Cover and simmer on very low heat for 1 hour.

Step 3

Add remaining ingredients. With lid slightly off continue to simmer 1 hour or until meat is fork tender and sauce is thick. Adjust seasoning and serve.
