Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add to the pot in batches and cook, turning and adding more oil as needed, until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
- Add 2 more tablespoons oil to the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Add the roughly chopped carrot, celery and onion and cook, occasionally stirring with a wooden spoon and scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pot, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Move the vegetables to one side and add the tomato paste to the empty side. Cook until it darkens around the edge, about 2 minutes; stir into the vegetables. Add the wine and bring to a boil.
- Return the beef and any juices to the pot; add the stock. Bring to a boil, skimming any foam off the top. Add the thyme. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the beef is tender, about 2 hours.
- Strain the beef and vegetables in a colander set over a large bowl, reserving the cooking liquid. Tent the beef mixture with foil. Let the cooking liquid stand for 5 minutes and then skim off the fat on the surface. Return the liquid to the pot. Add the remaining carrots and celery and the potatoes and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are just tender, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and brown, 10 minutes. (Pour off any extra liquid, if necessary.) Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux, then let it bubble (do not brown), 2 minutes. Whisk in 2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid. Stir this sauce into the pot with the vegetables; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring often, until thickened, 5 minutes.
- Return the beef to the pot, discarding the roughly chopped carrot, celery, onion and thyme. Add the mushrooms and simmer until heated through, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley.

BEEF "STEW-FRY" WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND BOK CHOY
This is called a "stew-fry" because both cooking techniques are employed. There's a little bit of stir-frying, and the flavor profile is decidedly Asian, but enough liquid is added in the form of low-fat chicken broth that not a lot of oil is required, keeping things nice and light.

Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Heat a Dutch oven over high heat, and when the pot is hot, add the sesame oil. Add the ginger and scallions and cook until they are fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the chicken broth and soy sauce, and bring the liquid to a boil. Add the shiitake mushrooms and bok choy, cover, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the rice vinegar and ketchup, and season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir the sliced beef into the stew, allowing it to cook in the the residual heat of the liquid. Serve immediately.
- For deep, rich flavor, use low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth where water is called for in savory recipes. It's great for cooking everything from beans to grains.

Tips:
- Use a Dutch oven or large pot with a heavy bottom to evenly distribute heat and prevent scorching.
- Trim excess fat from the beef before browning to reduce the amount of fat in the stew.
- Sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot and ensure even browning.
- Use a variety of vegetables for added flavor and texture. Some popular choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms.
- Add aromatic vegetables and herbs, such as garlic, thyme, and bay leaves, to enhance the flavor of the stew.
- Use a good quality beef broth or stock as the base of the stew for a rich and flavorful broth.
- Bring the stew to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
- Thicken the stew with a cornstarch slurry or roux if desired. A cornstarch slurry is made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water, while a roux is made by cooking equal parts butter and flour together.
- Season the stew to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, chili powder, or cumin, to taste.
- Serve the stew over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
