{"product_id":"italian-beef-stew-with-peas","title":"Italian Beef Stew with Peas","description":"\u003cp\u003eA proper Italian secondo - chunks of beef coated in flour, browned in butter, deglazed with white wine, then slow-cooked with peas until everything is meltingly tender. This isn't a British stew; it's lighter, brighter, and finished with fresh mint. Your pizza oven is ideal because the steady, falling heat from retained warmth does exactly what this dish needs - a long, gentle braise without any fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e600g braising beef (chuck or shin), cut into 4cm chunks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e400g peas (frozen are fine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100g celery, finely diced\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 onion, finely diced\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40g butter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20g plain flour\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e300ml white wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA sprig of fresh rosemary\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA few fresh mint leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSalt and black pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMethod\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLet your pizza oven settle to around 180°C - steady retained heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCut the beef into chunks and toss with the flour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMelt the butter in a heavy casserole dish or Dutch oven on the hob (or in the oven mouth).
