Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Combine all Marinade ingredients in a large resealable bag. Add Beef and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Remove Beef from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade.
Heat Olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown Beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Set browned Beef aside.
Add Yellow onions and Carrots to the Dutch oven and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add Garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in All-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in reserved marinade and Beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add Tomato paste, Salt, and Black pepper.
Return Beef to the Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until Beef is very tender.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
