Prep time: 30 minutesCook time: 4 hoursServes: 6
Ingredients
2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 2-inch cubes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp olive oil
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups red wine
2 cups beef stock
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
2. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches, browning on all sides. Remove and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium, add bacon, and cook until crisp. Add onion and carrots, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in garlic, cook for an additional minute, then add tomato paste, stirring until incorporated.
5. Pour in the red wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by half.
6. Add beef stock, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and browned beef back to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
7. Cover and place in preheated oven at 325°F for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
8. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms, cooking until browned and tender, about 10 minutes.
9. Stir mushrooms into stew, cover, and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
10. Remove bay leaves, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.
