About Brasato
Brasato, an Italian culinary classic, is a slow-cooked beef dish typically simmered in red wine and aromatics like garlic, onions, carrots, and herbs. Rooted in northern Italy, especially the Piedmont region, Brasato’s rich flavor and tender texture are achieved through hours of braising, which enhances both taste and nutritional profile. While high in protein and essential vitamins such as B12 and iron, its calorie count can vary depending on the type of beef and preparation method. The inclusion of fresh vegetables provides fiber and nutrients, but the dish's red wine base contains alcohol, which is cooked off during cooking but may still raise concerns for some. Often served with polenta or mashed potatoes, Brasato is a wholesome dish, though it can be high in fat depending on the cut of meat and added oils. Moderation is key to enjoying this sumptuous Italian delicacy in a balanced diet.
