Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Beef Chuck
- 4 slices of Bacon
- 1 large Onion, diced
- 2–3 Carrots, sliced
- 3 cloves of Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Red Wine
- 2 cups Beef Broth
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 2 tsp Thyme
- 1 Bay Leaf
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Fresh Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Start by cutting your beef into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels and prepare all your vegetables.
- Sauté the bacon: Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add the bacon, and cook until crispy for about 5-7 minutes.
- Brown the beef: In the same pot, brown the beef in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, then set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: Toss in the diced onion and sliced carrots and cook until soft, then add garlic for another minute.
- Incorporate the tomato paste: Add to the pot and stir well, cooking for about 2 minutes.
- Deglaze with wine: Pour in red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan and let it simmer to reduce by half, about 10 minutes.
- Add the broth and spices: Stir in beef broth, thyme, and bay leaf, returning the bacon and beef to the pot.
- Simmer and savor: Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 2-3 hours, until tender.
- Finish with a flourish: Taste and season with salt and pepper. Remove the lid to thicken the sauce if it’s too thin.
- Serve and enjoy: Spoon into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
