Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 g Beef chuck (cut into 2-inch cubes)
- 750 ml Dry red wine
- 3 medium Carrots (sliced into rounds)
- 2 medium Celery stalks (chopped)
- 1 large Yellow onion (finely sliced)
- 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 2 Bay leaves
- 4 Fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 250 ml Beef stock
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef cubes with the red wine, bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and rosemary sprigs. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to marinate.
Remove the beef from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Strain the marinade, reserving the liquid and herbs separately.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the beef to the pot, along with the reserved marinade liquid, beef stock, and the strained herbs. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it cook gently for 3.5 to 4 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The beef should be tender and the sauce slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Remove the herbs before serving.
Serve the Daube De Boeuf hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or buttered noodles to soak up the rich sauce.
