Rapid italian stew

This is a dish for those rainy days where the first cold and the urge to eat something hot! If you use a pressure cooker is a pot fast enough compared to traditional times!
 

Ingredients:

• 300 gr. beef
• 2 carrots
• 1 onion
• ½ hot pepper
• 2 glasses of red wine firm
• ½ cup of tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon oil EVO
• 1 tablespoon of potato starch
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 sprig of rosemary
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• salt

Time: 45 min.

Cut the meat into pieces if not already ready.
In the pressure cooker brown the chopped onion in oil, add the carrots cut in washer, red pepper, bay leaf and rosemary.
Pour the wine, tomato sauce and salt.
Cover with the lid and cook for 20 minutes from time.
After 20 min cool the pot, and open.
If necessary, boil for a few minutes  if there is too much liquid.
Take a ladle of sauce in a cup and put it the potatoes starch. Pour into the pan and stir.
Bake for 5 minutes. The sauce should be quite thick.
Distribute the chopped parsley and serve with “polenta” (I used the quick cooked for 8 minutes) or with mashed potatoes.

Note:
"Polenta" is a typical dish made from maize flour cooked in salted water to accompany various foods or with various dressings.
