Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups dry red wine (e.g., Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and cut into 1.5-inch cubes. Season the beef with salt and black pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the beef until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sliced carrots and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to develop its flavor. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stir well, and cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
Deglaze the pot by pouring in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the wine to reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the seared beef to the pot along with its juices. Pour in the beef stock, Dijon mustard, bay leaf, and thyme sprigs. Stir to combine and bring to a low simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Simmer gently for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fork-tender and the sauce is thickened.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs before serving.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or crusty bread.
