Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds chuck beef (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon browning sauce (optional, for color)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 stalks celery (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 8 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons roast beef base paste (like Better than Bouillon)
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 2/3 cup red cooking apple vinegar (merlot or any dark red apple vinegar)
  • bunch of fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, bay leaf) (about 2 sprigs each)
  • 4 large carrots (roughly chopped)
  • 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes (cut into cubes)

Instructions

  1. Season the beef with flour, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and browning sauce (if using).
  2. In a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, sear the beef on all sides for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add the celery, onions, and garlic to the Dutch oven. Sauté until soft. Stir in the tomato paste and beef base; simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add the apple vinegar, broth, and fresh herbs. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for about 2 hours.
  5. After cooking for two hours, add potatoes and carrots. Continue cooking on medium-low heat for an additional 30 to 45 minutes.
  6. Once the beef is perfectly tender, garnish as desired and serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or crunchy toast!
