Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season liberally with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, carrots, celery, and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Meat

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef chuck roast and sear it on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the meat and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 5

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Broth and Herbs

    Return the beef to the pot and add the beef broth. Stir in the thyme, bay leaf, and rosemary.

  5. 7

    Cook the Stew

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy hot.
