Rate this Recipe
Serves 8
Ingredients:
3 pounds Certified Angus Beef ® chuck roast, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt |
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil |
2 large onions, diced |
3 large carrots, diagonally cut in 1-inch pieces |
3 garlic cloves, chopped |
1/4 cup tomato paste |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
2 cups red wine |
2 cups beef stock |
3 bay leaves |
2 sprigs fresh thyme |
3 pounds Yukon potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/2-inch cubes |
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary |
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley |
Directions:
- Remove top rack from oven and preheat to 325°F.
- Season chuck roast cubes with salt and pepper. Put half of oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Just as the oil begins to smoke, add half of beef cubes evenly spaced. Brown on most sides and transfer to a plate. Add remaining oil, sear remaining beef cubes; remove from pan.
- Add onions, carrot, garlic and tomato paste. Stir over medium-high heat, scraping brown bits from bottom of pan, 2-3 minutes. Add flour and stir to combine. Add red wine, scraping bottom of pan, then reduce heat to medium low, simmer until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Stir in beef, beef stock, bay leaves and thyme. Return to a boil, again scraping sides and bottom clean; put lid on Dutch oven and place in the oven. Cook for 2 hours.
- Add potatoes and rosemary and continue to cook, covered, until potatoes are tender, approximately 1 hour. If needed, add additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley.
