Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 2 cups Dry red wine (such as Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
- 3 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 4 Fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 Bay leaves
- 12 Pearl onions, peeled
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, quartered
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Flour
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the beef cubes, red wine, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Mix well, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches, browning them on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the yellow onion, carrots, and minced garlic for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the tomato paste and flour, cooking for another minute.
Deglaze the skillet by adding 1 cup of the reserved wine marinade to the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then pour the mixture into the crock pot over the beef.
Add the remaining wine marinade, beef broth, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, pearl onions, and mushrooms to the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Before serving, discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty French bread or buttery mashed potatoes.
