4 HOUR BEEF STEW
Adopted recipe.The original recipe calls for baking in the oven, but you could also make this in a slow cooker on low if you don't want to tie up your oven for that long. This is a very easy stew to make. There isn't much prep to it, just some rough chopping of the veggies.Make sure you don't lift the foil in the oven b/c the steam helps cook the veggies just right!This would be great with a nice crusty bread on the side.

Steps:
- Season beef with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and italian seasoning. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef in skillet until all edges are brown, about 2 minutes per edge. Then, add red wine to the pan with the beef and scrape until all the brown bits come off. Turn heat to low and simmer. While beef is simmering, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook without turning till browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until onion just begins to brown (about 5 minutes). Once onion begins to brown, add garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, then add celery and bell pepper. Cook for 3-5 more minutes, until celery begins to brown. Turn heat to low. Add beef and liquid to pot with vegetables. Stir in basil, 2 sprigs of thyme, carrots, and add 1 cup of beef stock (or until beef is covered in liquid). Cook on low heat until beef is tender and cooked completely through and the vegetables are tender. Remove the thyme sprigs. Scoop into bowls, garnish with remaining thyme sprigs, and serve hot. NOTE: To punch the flavor up an extra notch, you can start by cooking bacon in the skillet first, removing it, and browning the stew meat in the bacon fat. Then you proceed as planned and add the bacon at the very end, just before serving. This definitely makes it tastier, but the extra fat is probably outside Tim's "lean meat" recommendation ????

Tips:
- Sear the beef: Searing the beef before braising helps develop a rich, flavorful crust and adds depth to the stew.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your stew. Some popular options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
- Add herbs and spices: Herbs and spices are essential for adding flavor to your stew. Some common choices include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, garlic, and peppercorns.
- Use a good quality wine: The wine you use in your stew will have a big impact on the flavor. Choose a dry red wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
- Cook the stew low and slow: The key to a tender, flavorful stew is to cook it low and slow. This allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become fall-apart tender.
- Serve with a side of crusty bread: A side of crusty bread is the perfect way to soak up all the delicious sauce from your stew.
