Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, sliced into 1-inch pieces
• 8 ounces Button mushrooms, quartered
• 2 cups Dry red wine (e.g., Burgundy)
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 leaves Bay leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle the flour, salt, and black pepper over the beef and toss to coat evenly.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. In batches, sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Add the carrots, celery, and mushrooms to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then deglaze the pot by adding the red wine. Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the pot, then pour in the beef broth. Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaves, and stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook gently for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

After 2 hours, check the beef for tenderness. It should be fork-tender and flavorful. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves from the pot. Serve the Burgundy Beef a La Bob hot, garnished with fresh parsley, over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or crusty bread.
