Ingredients

Servings
  • 750 g (1½lb) beef cut into chunks, stewing
  • 10 baby onions peeled (alternatively use one onion, finely chopped)
  • 2 large carrot peeled and sliced into thick coins
  • 2 talks celery finely chopped
  • 6 garlic minced, cloves
  • 4 prigs thyme fresh
  • 2 bay leaf
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 5 cups beef broth or beef stock
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef dry with paper towels then season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat a few tablespoons of oil (olive oil/canola oil/sunflower oil) in a large Dutch oven, deep braiser or casserole pot set over medium-high heat then add the beef and allow to brown, in batches, to prevent overcrowding the pan.
  3. Remove and set aside.
  4. Sauté the onions, carrots and celery in the same pot until they start to turn golden brown then add the garlic and herbs and cook for another minute.
  5. Add the tomato paste and stir into the vegetables then pour in the wine and stock.
  6. Bring to a simmer then add the beef back to the pot.
  7. Cover with a lid then reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 2-3 hours or until the beef is pull-apart tender.
  8. I always have an extra cup or two of beef broth at hand to add to the stew if it reduces too much and gets too thick.
  9. Once the beef is cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary then serve.
