Ingredients

• 2 pounds tri-tip beef
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 stalks celery stalks
• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cabernet sauvignon wine
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the tri-tip beef and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Season the cubes with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until they are browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic, then sauté them in the pot until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Peel and chop the carrots into 1/2-inch pieces. Slice the celery stalks and peel and cube the Russet potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Add the carrots and celery to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and flour, coating the vegetables evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Deglaze the pot by pouring in the cabernet sauvignon wine. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, then let the wine simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Return the seared beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Add the Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the stew simmer gently for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

After 90 minutes, add the potato chunks to the pot. Continue to simmer the stew, covered, for another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the beef is fork-tender.

Step 10

Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 11

Garnish the stew with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes, if desired.
