Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 lbs of cubed beef chuck and brown for 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add 3 cloves of minced garlic, 2 cups of pearl onions, and 1 cup of sliced carrots. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in 1 cup of red wine and 2 cups of beef broth. Add bouquet garni, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  5. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2-3 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
  6. About 30 minutes before cooking time ends, stir in 8 oz of sliced mushrooms.
  7. Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
