Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Chop the beef into 1-inch cubes. Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sear the Beef

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 4

    Deglaze the Pot

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

  4. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the chopped carrots, potatoes, beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  5. 6

    Simmer the Stew

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the beef is tender.

  6. 7

    Final Adjustments

    Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Remove bay leaves before serving.
