Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and toss with flour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides. Remove beef from the pot and set aside.
Add onions to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Pour in the red wine and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.
Return the seared beef to the pot. Add carrots, celery, mushrooms, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs.
Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer to a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C).
Braise for 3 to 4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
Remove bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
