Ingredients
- 3-4 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 ½ - 4 pounds top round roast, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup red wine (I used Pinot Noir)
- 2 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4-5 sprigs thyme
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees, adjust rack to lower level. In 6-quart Dutch oven heat 3-4 Tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Sear 3 ½ - 4 pounds top round roast, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes on two sides. Note: You will need to do this in batches being careful not to overcrowd the pan (you want to brown the meat, not steam it.) Add more oil as needed. Once browned, remove meat to a platter and continue with the rest.
- Once all the meat is browned and set aside, reduce heat to medium and sauté 1 small onion, diced until softened (about 3-4 minutes.) Add 2 Tablespoons tomato paste, 3 garlic cloves, minced and ¼ cup all-purpose flour stirring until no flour streaks remain (about 1-2 minutes.)
- Add 1 cup red wine scraping up any bites from the bottom of the pan. Add 2 ½ cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 4-5 sprigs thyme, 2 bay leaves and seared meat, along with any accumulated juices from the platter to the Dutch oven.
- Cover and bake for 2 hours. Remove pot from the oven, discard the bay leaves and thyme. Taste test for salt and pepper. Then serve!
