Ingredients

• 1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 large carrots, sliced into rounds
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup red wine (such as Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
• 1.5 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef with salt and pepper, then sear in batches, cooking until browned on all sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the diced onion and sliced carrots. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften slightly.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture and become golden.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the red wine while stirring continuously to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 8

Add the beef broth and tomato paste, and stir to combine. Return the seared beef to the pan.

Step 9

Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Season with additional salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 10

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 11

Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Step 12

Serve the Beef Burgundy hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
