- 3 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- ⅓ cup chopped raw bacon about 6 slices
- 3 pounds lean stewing beef cut into 2-inch cubes
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup sliced carrots about 2 medium carrots
- 10-12 small pearl onions or 1 cup diced onion
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups red wine full-bodied, such as Pinot Noir, Burgundy, Beaujolais, or Cotes du Rhone
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 3 ½ tablespoons olive oil and ⅓ cup chopped raw bacon. Cook until crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve on a plate or bowl lined with paper-towels.
- Season 3 pounds lean stewing beef cut into 2-inch cubes with salt and ground black pepper and cook it on each side for 2-3 minutes until a brown crust forms, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the pot and reserve.
- Add 1 cup sliced carrots, 10-12 small pearl onions , and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pot and reserve.
- 2 cups red wine to the pot and scrape down the bottom and sides to get up all the leftover pieces from the meat and vegetables. Add 2 cups beef broth, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, ½ cup tomato sauce, and whisk in ¼ cup all-purpose flour.
- Add the bacon, beef, and vegetables back to the pot and stir to combine. Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic, ½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, and 1 bay leaf. Add the lid to the pot and transfer it into the oven. Let it cook for 1 ½-2 hours, until the beef is tender and falls apart easily. You may alternatively cook it covered on the stovetop over low heat for 1 ½- hours.
