Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck stew meat
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 stalks celery
• 8 ounces button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 cups dry red wine
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 pieces bay leaves
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 cup frozen pearl onions
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chunks with salt, pepper, and toss them in the flour to coat evenly.

Step 2

Heat olive oil and butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, sear the beef chunks on all sides until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Add the chopped yellow onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the carrots (cut into 1-inch rounds), celery (cut into chunks), and halved mushrooms. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to the sides of the pot and add the tomato paste to the center. Stir for 1-2 minutes to caramelize the paste slightly.

Step 7

Pour in the red wine, stirring to deglaze the bottom of the pot and scrape up any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for 3-5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Return the seared beef to the pot and add the beef broth. Stir in the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

Step 9

Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded.

Step 10

In the last 20 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen pearl onions and let them cook until heated through.

Step 11

Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
