Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup red wine
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 3 fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper. Dredge the seasoned beef in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Brown all sides of the beef cubes, then remove from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the tomato paste to the pot, stirring to coat the onions and garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pot. Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

Step 8

Add the carrots, potatoes, and celery to the pot. Cover and continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Stir in the frozen peas and heat through for about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
