Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 medium onions chopped into bite-sized chunks
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups dry red wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and chopped into bite-sized chunks
- 4 large carrots peeled and chopped into coins
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Dredge 2 pounds beef stew meat in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Brown the stew meat, working in three batches, for just a few minutes until the sides of the meat are brown and crisp. Remove meat from pot and set aside.
- Add in 3 medium onions and 4 cloves garlic, and cook until just fragrant and tender, about five minutes.
- Add in 2 cups dry red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze. If cooking in a slow cooker, transfer the wine, beef, and all remaining ingredients in a slow cooker and cook for 4-6 hours on high or 6-8 on low. If cooking on the stove, add in the beef and all remaining ingredients to the Dutch oven, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 90 minutes to 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender and the gravy is thick and smooth.
