Steps
Slice the muscle into 0.39 inch thick pieces, then dice them, and lightly flour them. Pour the oil into a large pan. Add the meat and sear over medium heat on both sides.
Meanwhile, chop the onion and add it to the meat. Let it wilt for a couple of minutes over low heat and deglaze with the wine. Let the alcohol evaporate and add the aromatic herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour a ladle of hot broth and cook covered with a lid for 1 hour over low heat. Check occasionally and add a little more broth if necessary.
Meanwhile, peel the apples and cut them into 0.79 x 0.79 inch cubes. Soak them in water. After 1 hour of cooking the meat, drain them and add them to the meat.
Add all the remaining broth, adjust the salt, and continue cooking for another 40 minutes. Serve hot.
WARNING: check the Italian Celiac Association guidelines and read the ingredients carefully to ensure they are free of gluten contamination.
