Preparazione
- Marinate the beef in red wine, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaf and whole cloves for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Pat the beef dry, heat olive oil in a heavy pot and brown the meat on all sides; remove and set aside.
- In the same pot sauté the chopped onion and sliced carrot until softened, then stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
- Return the beef to the pot, add the wine‑marinade, dried prunes, dried figs, and the sugar‑salt‑pepper mixture; bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 2–3 hours until the meat is fork‑tender.
- Remove the beef, slice it, and continue simmering the sauce uncovered to thicken to a glossy consistency; adjust seasoning and serve the slices over gnocchi or wide pasta ribbons.
