- 2 tablespoon salted butter Kerrygold
- 3 tablespoon gluten free flour
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 10 pearl onions skins removed (see note above)
- 3 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 cups red wine I used Pinot Noir
- 1 32 oz box beef stock I like Kitchen Basics
- 2 cups water
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 carrots cut into 2 inch pieces
- 3 celery stalks cut into 2 inch pieces
- 1 lb small white or red boiling potatoes
- Italian parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat oil and butter in large dutch oven. Brown the beef in batches. Do not overcrowd. Add a bit more oil and butter with each batch. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add a bit more olive oil, then add the garlic and onions. Cook until well browned about 10 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for a minute.
- Add the beef back to the pot and sprinkle with the flour. Cook until you don't see any white flour.
- Add vinegar, beef broth, wine, bay leaves, and thyme. Don't forget to add all the juices from the beef. Bring to a simmer, cover and put in oven for about 2 hours. You can check along the way to see that the beef is getting tender.
- About an hour into cooking, add the carrots and potatoes.
