A classic French beef stew, braised in red wine with mushrooms and pearl onions. This version uses readily available ingredients and straightforward techniques.
Marinate the Beef: In a large bowl, combine the Beef with all Marinade ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Sear the Beef: Remove the beef from the marinade, pat dry, and reserve the marinade. Heat 1 tbsp Olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides. Set aside.
Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tbsp Olive oil to the Dutch oven. Add the Onion, Carrots, and Celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced Garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Make the Sauce: Stir in the Tomato paste and Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually pour in the reserved marinade and Beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer.
Braise the Beef: Return the beef to the Dutch oven. Add the Bay leaf and Thyme. Cover and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
Cook Pearl Onions and Mushrooms: In a separate skillet, sauté the Pearl onions in a little butter until browned and tender. Add the Mushrooms and cook until softened. Add to the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Season and Serve: Season the stew with Salt and Pepper to taste. Garnish with Fresh parsley before serving.
