Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion (chopped)
• 4 medium carrots (peeled and sliced into rounds)
• 2 stalks celery (chopped)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 cups dry red wine (such as Burgundy)
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, tied in a bundle)
• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (halved)
• 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper. Toss them in flour until evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring all sides are seared. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the red wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 6

Add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme sprigs (if using), and the seared beef back into the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

After 90 minutes, add the baby potatoes and mushrooms to the pot. Cover and continue simmering for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 9

Remove and discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm with crusty bread if desired.
