INGREDIENTS:
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 lbs. boneless chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 ½ tsp. kosher salt, divided
- 8 oz. cremini mushrooms, quartered
- 1 red onion sliced
- 3 medium carrots, cut diagonally into ½-inch pieces
- 6 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 cup dry red wine
-
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
-
2 ½ cups beef stock, divided
-
1 bundle (tied with kitchen twine) thyme sprigs (about 4 large sprigs) and flat-leaf parsley sprigs (about 2 large sprigs)
-
2 bay leaves
-
12 oz. baby gold potatoes (cut any larger potatoes in half)
-
10 oz. frozen pearl onions (about 1 ¾ cups), thawed
-
2 Tbsp. yellow or wholegrain mustard
-
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
-
2 Tbsp. thinly sliced fresh chives and parsley
Directions:
-
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Sprinkle beef with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Add half of beef to Dutch oven and cook until well browned on two sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer browned beef to a plate. Repeat with remaining beef. Set beef aside. Add mushrooms to Dutch oven and cook, stirring often, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add red onion and carrots to Dutch oven.
-
Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add red wine; cook until liquid has almost evaporated, 6 to 7 minutes, stirring and scraping to loosen browned bits from bottom of Dutch oven. Whisk together flour and 1/2 cup of the stock in a small bowl; whisk into mixture in Dutch oven until incorporated. Stir in beef, herb bundle, bay leaves, remaining 2 cups stock, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until beef is tender when pierced with a fork, about 50 minutes.
-
Add potatoes; cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir mushrooms, pearl onions, mustard, and red wine vinegar into beef mixture. Cook, uncovered, until pearl onions are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; remove and discard herb bundle and bay leaves. Ladle stew into bowls and sprinkle with chives/parsley. Enjoy!
