Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 pounds beef stew meat (cubed)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large yellow onion (diced)
• 3 medium carrots (sliced)
• 2 stalks celery stalks (sliced)
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 1.5 cups red wine (dry)
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
• 3 medium potatoes (cubed)
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large oven-safe casserole dish or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the beef stew meat with salt and black pepper, then sear the meat in batches until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per batch). Remove the meat and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same casserole dish, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Deglaze the casserole dish by pouring in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Add the beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Return the seared beef to the casserole dish, along with the cubed potatoes, bay leaf, and thyme leaves.

Step 9

Cover the casserole dish with a lid or tightly with foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meat and potatoes are tender.

Step 10

About 5 minutes before the casserole is done, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then stir the roux into the casserole to thicken the sauce.

Step 11

Remove the casserole from the oven, discard the bay leaf, and taste to adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
