Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb boneless beef shoulder or chuck, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil (divided)
- 4 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup red burgundy wine (e.g., pinot noir)
- 6 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 bouquet garni (herb bundle)
- Water
- Optional: demi-glace for added depth
- Fresh flat-leaf parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the beef dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat half the olive oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides; remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, reduce heat to medium-high and add onions with remaining oil. Cook until softened and golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add red wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil before returning beef along with its juices.
- Add carrots, garlic, bouquet garni, and enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about 2 to 2.5 hours until tender.
- Discard bouquet garni, taste for seasoning adjustments, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.
