To make this beef stew with speck in mascarpone sauce, you will need a few ingredients, most of which are probably already in your pantry. First, you will need beef cubes, preferably chuck or stewing beef that is cut into bite-sized pieces. You will also need ham or speck, which can be found in specialty stores or larger supermarkets. Speck is a type of smoked ham that originates from the Trentino-Alto Adige region in northern Italy, and it has a distinct smoky flavor that adds depth to the stew. In addition, you will need onions, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, beef broth, and red wine. The mascarpone sauce adds a luxurious creaminess to the stew, and it is made using mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese.

To start, heat up some olive oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes or until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside. In the same pan, sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic until softened. Add the diced speck, thyme, and bay leaves and cook for another 5 minutes.

Return the beef to the pan and pour in the beef broth and red wine. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Let the stew simmer for 1 hour or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.

In the meantime, make the mascarpone sauce by whisking together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Once the stew is done, remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs and stir in the mascarpone sauce. Let the stew simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
