- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Season the meat with salt and pepper, place in a large bowl, and toss with the flour.
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or wide-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Cook the meat, in batches, until well browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes, transferring the pieces to a plate as they are browned. Pour off and discard any drippings from the pot.
- Add the tomato paste, wine, broth, onion, bay leaves, thyme, and 2 of the carrots and bring to a boil. Return the meat and any juices back to the pot (the meat should be barely submerged in liquid), cover, and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 hours.
- Using tongs, remove and discard the cooked vegetables. Add the potatoes and the remaining 8 carrots to the pot, cover, and return to the oven. Cook until the meat and vegetables are fork-tender, about 1 hour more.

RED WINE-MARINATED BEEF STEW
A twist on traditional beef stew--stew meat that is so tender even the most finicky eaters will love! (i.e. kids that don't like meat that is tough to chew...like mine.) The "secret" is the acid from the red wine. It helps to break down the collagen, naturally tenderizing the meat and releasing great flavor! The longer you can marinate the better but a minimum of 3 hours is essential. Enjoy with a good crusty bread and a glass of red!

Steps:
- Marinate the beef in red wine in a 9x13-inch glass baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, turning the meat over halfway through marinating time.
- Remove beef from the wine and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the wine.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season beef on all sides with salt and pepper. Brown in the hot oil, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove meat, drain the pot, and add bacon. Cook until semi-crisp and browned, about 5 minutes. Drain bacon grease but do not wipe the pot clean.
- Drizzle remaining oil into the pot and add potatoes, carrots, green beans, celery, and garlic. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Pour reserved wine, beef broth, and tomatoes into the pot, scraping up the browned bits that cling to the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add rosemary and sage. Return the meat to the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and let simmer until meat is very tender and no longer pink, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, adding mushrooms during the last 1 hour of cooking time.
- Combine tapioca and cold water in a bowl. Mix into the stew to thicken as desired.

BEEF STEW WITH RED WINE AND VEGETABLES
This is not the stew you grew up with, it is simply divine! This is great for cold nights. You will be able to taste the wine you choose to cook with, so get a decent enough bottle. We also made this with homemade veal stock, but I imagine you can sub high quality commercial beef stock, and it will be fine; the recipe says to go for a chuck eye roast and to avoid pre-cut beef. We used a grass fed and finished bone-in beef chuck from a local farm, which my husband cut off the bone as he was searing it. The cauliflower and green beans are interesting and delicious touch, don't skip - they give a crunch to the stew. This comes from the "Staff Meals from Chantrelle" cook book.

Steps:
- Place bacon in a large, heavy, flameproof dutch oven and saute over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Add onion and garlic; if there isn't enough fat rendered from the bacon, add a tbsp of oil as well. Saute' onion and garlic until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, heat 3 tbsp of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Add only enough beef cubes to fit the skillet without crowding, and brown well on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. As the beef browns, transfer it to the dutch oven with bacon, onion, and garlic. Brown remaining beef in batches, adding oil as needed; don't let bottom of the skillet burn.
- When all the beef is browned and removed from skillet, add 1 cup of wine to skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits in the bottom of the pan. Pour the contents of the skillet into the casserole with the beef, along with the brandy and 2 cups of the wine. Increase the heat to high and reduce liquid by 2/3, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add the veal stock, bacon rind, bay leaves, and thyme, and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to very low. Cook the beef very gently, partially covered, for 1.5 hours. If the liquid doesn't appear to be thickening, whisk in some beurre manie.
- Add the carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Continue simmering until the meat and veggies are tender, 30 minutes more.
- Add the cauliflower and green beans, and cook til crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the remaining wine and cook for 30 seconds more.
- Remove dutch oven from heat, discard bay leaves and bacon rind. Adjust salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. A chuck roast or brisket is a good option for a stew, as they are tough cuts that will become tender when cooked slowly.
- Brown the beef before stewing it. This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a good quality red wine. A dry red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add depth of flavor to the stew.
- Add plenty of vegetables to the stew. Vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the stew.
- Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
- Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or rice.
Conclusion:
Red wine beef stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious red wine beef stew at home. So next time you are looking for a warm and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
