Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 4 medium carrots
• 3 medium potatoes
• 2 stalks celery stalks
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup red wine
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck into 1.5-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Place the flour in a shallow dish and lightly coat the beef cubes, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Slice the carrots into rounds, quarter the potatoes, and chop the celery into 1-inch pieces.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden.

Step 6

Add the garlic and tomato paste. Stir for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 8

Return the beef to the pot. Add the beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 1 hour.

Step 9

After 1 hour, add the carrots, potatoes, and celery. Cover and continue simmering for another 45 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice if desired.
