Number Of Ingredients 16

3 to 4 pounds chuck, cut in chunks for browning
2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
4 cups good beef broth
1/2 cup tomato puree
1/4 cup flour for thickening
1 cup light wine (if you prefer dark wine that is ok.)

2 yellow onions cut in chunks
4 cloves of garlic minced
4 carrots scraped and cut into chunks
4 medium russet potatoes cut into chunks
2 stalks of celery cut into chunks
2 bay leaves

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 cup chopped parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a Dutch oven or heavy pot with tight fitting lid, add oil and heat on medium high.
  • 2. When the vegetable oil is hot, salt and pepper the meat, sear it in the hot oil, then remove it from the Dutch oven and set aside.
  • 3. Add onions to the Dutch oven and saute for about 5 to 7 minutes until they are soft.
  • 4. Reduce heat to medium low and add in the flour and stir and cook for a couple of minutes. Then add the garlic, stir for another minute, then add wine to deglaze the bottom of the Dutch oven. Simmer about 7 minutes.
  • 5. Add the broth, tomato puree, browned beef, and the seasonings.
  • 6. Simmer the stew, covered, on low simmer for about an hour, then add the vegetables. Simmer until vegetables are tender.
  • 7. Add more salt if needed. Add the parsley last, and let the stew sit covered in the Dutch oven for about 20 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
