Categories     Beef

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 lb boneless chuck roast, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp freshly ground pepper
2 yellow onions, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/4 c flour
3 clove garlic minced
1 c red wine
3 c beef broth
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp dried thyme
4 carrots peeled, cut into 1-inch slices
2 celery stalks, cut into 1-inch slices
3 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut in eighths
fresh parsley to garnish

Steps:

  • 1. ON MEDIUM-HIGH HEAT, ADD THE VEGETABLE OIL TO A LARGE HEAVY POT (ONE THAT HAS A TIGHT FITTING LID).
  • 2. WHEN IT BEGINS TO SMOKE SLIGHTLY, ADD THE BEEF AND BROWN VERY WELL. DO IN BATCHES IF NECESSARY. ADD THE SALT AND PEPPER AS THE BEEF BROWNS.
  • 3. ONCE BROWNED, REMOVE THE BEEF WITH A SLOTTED SPOON AND SET ASIDE.
  • 4. ADD ONIONS AND SAUTE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, UNTIL SOFTENED.
  • 5. REDUCE HEAT TO MEDIUM-LOW, AND ADD THE FLOUR AND COOK 2 MINUTES STIRRING OFTEN.
  • 6. ADD THE GARLIC AND COOK FOR 1 MINUTE.
  • 7. ADD WINE AND DEGLAZE THE PAN, SCRAPING ANY BROWN BITS STUCK TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN. THE FLOUR WILL START TO THICKEN THE WINE AS IT COMES TO A SIMMER.
  • 8. SIMMER WINE FOR 5 MINUTES, AND THEN ADD THE BROTH, BAY LEAVES, THYME, ROSEMARY, AND THE BEEF.
  • 9. BRING BACK TO A GENTLE SIMMER, COVER AND COOK ON VERY LOW FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR.
  • 10. ADD POTATOES, CARROTS, AND CELERY, AND SIMMER COVERED FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES OR UNTIL THE MEAT AND VEGETABLES ARE TENDER. TASTE AND ADJUST SEASONINGS.
  • 11. TURN OFF HEAT AND LET SIT FOR 15 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING. GARNISH WITH THE FRESH PARSLEY.
