Lightly sear the meat in butter or olive oil. Just to give it some color. I used veal this time.

Add peeled tomatoes, tomato paste and the red  wine. If you're afraid that the meat won't get tender, add 1tbsp of vinegar. You won't taste it, but it helps to get the meat softer.

Mix well and let it simmer on low heat for at least 3 hours! The longer the better.

Add pre-cooked or uncooked patatoes in the last 45min. If needed add some salt and pepper.

Very nice served with some bread and a green salade or just eat it with cooked rice or mash! Enjoy
