Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 minced garlic
  • 2 medium onions chopped
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 1 pound baby potatoes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Pat dry the beef with paper towels, and cut into 2-inch cubes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to your Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a single layer of beef cubes with some space in between. (Cook in batches if necessary.)
  • Cook the beef for about 2 minutes when the bottom is nicely browned. Then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove them to a plate, and repeat with the remaining oil and beef.
  • Add the onions and garlic to the Dutch oven and sauté for 3 minutes.
  • Add the browned beef, red wine, broth, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, flour, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and place the Dutch oven in the middle of the preheated oven and braise for 2 hours until the meat is tender and the sauce thickened.
  • Remove from the oven and add the potatoes and carrots. Return to the oven for 30 minutes more. Serve and enjoy!
