Ingredients

• Beef chuck - 400 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Red wine (dry) - 200 ml
• Beef broth - 200 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 medium, chopped
• Carrots - 100 grams, sliced
• Celery - 100 grams, diced
• Bay leaves - 2
• Thyme - 1 teaspoon, dried
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mushrooms - 100 grams, sliced
• Parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add chopped onions, sliced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
5. Return the beef to the pot, add beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.
6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
7. Add sliced mushrooms in the last 30 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
8. Once done, remove bay leaves and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
