Marinated and boiled beef recipe
Preparation and cooking
- - Prepare the marinade.
- - Let the onion fry lightly in the olive oil in a pan over a low heat (don't let it brown).
- - Then add the aromatic herbs and pour in the vinegar.
- - Let the vinegar boil very slowly until it is half-reduced.
- - At this point add the wine and half a glass of water.
- - Boil for few minutes.
- - Meanwhile take away your meat from the fridge, cut it into thin slices and arrange them on the bottom of a large bowl.
- - When the marinade is ready, pour it into the bowl in order to cover the meat slices.
- - Let all cool and then chill until serving.

Note
Tips
- - Marinated and boiled beef is a do-ahead dish.
- - Marinated and boiled beef is a good idea for using boiled meat left.
Menu planning
- - You can serve marinated and boiled beef as second course in summer dinner party accompanied with boiled potatoes or string beans or a salad.
You can also choose marinated and boiled beef in your buffet menu or as appetizer (this is a traditional Italian appetizer!).
Healthy eating
- - Daily menu. Be careful, marinated and boiled beef is rich in protein because cooked beef already rich in protein is used. For this reason you have to prepare a pasta dish with vegetables for lunch. In fact I remember you carbohydrates (pasta) must be eaten at lunch and protein (meat) at dinner.
- - Menu for special occasions. It's a special occasion, isn't it? don't worry for calories, fat, sugar ... Provided that the rare event does not become common;))
- - If you want to drink a glass of wine remember you have to add 80-85 kCal per 100 ml.
- - We remember you our original home recipes can be made without salt; there is a combination of flavors that substitutes salt. Other no salt recipes on the Italian cooking page
