Ingredients

• 3 lbs beef chuck roast, cubed
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 cups beef broth
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 stalks celery, sliced
• 2 Tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tsp dried thyme
• 2 tsp dried rosemary
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• salt and pepper

Instructions

1. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper, then brown in batches. Set aside beef.
2. In the same pot, add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary. Pour in red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.
4. Return browned beef to the pot and add beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Cover the pot and lower heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 hours or until beef is tender and flavors are well-developed.
