Ingredients
  

For the Stew
  • 2 lbs Beef Chuck for a succulent, tender finish; brisket or shank works too!
  • 4 cups Red Wine opt for a rich Burgundy or Pinot Noir, beef broth for non-alcoholic
  • 2 cups Beef Broth low-sodium is a great alternative
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste elevate umami; crushed tomatoes are a fine swap
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced; garlic powder can serve in a pinch
  • 1 large Onion diced; shallots yield a milder profile
  • 2 Carrots sliced; parsnips can change it up nicely
  • 8 oz Mushrooms quartered; shiitake mushrooms add a unique twist
  • 4 strips Bacon diced; feel free to omit for a lighter stew
  • 2 tablespoons Flour to thicken the sauce; cornstarch is a gluten-free option
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil for sautéing goodness; vegetable oil can be used
  • 1 Bouquet Garni using thyme, bay leaf, and parsley
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Fresh Parsley for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Pre-chop your ingredients. Dice 1 large onion, slice 2 carrots, and quarter 8 oz of mushrooms. Cut 2 lbs of beef chuck into chunks.
  2. Sear Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven. Add 4 diced strips of bacon and sauté until crisp. Then add beef chunks in batches, searing until browned.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add onions, carrots, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until onions are translucent. Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Return beef and bacon to the pot. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 4 cups of red wine, and 2 cups of beef broth. Add the bouquet garni, salt, and pepper.
  5. Slow Cook: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally. Add quartered mushrooms in the last 30 minutes.
  6. Serve: Remove the bouquet garni. Ladle stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
