Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1.50 lb beef
680g
2 carrots
120g
1 stalk celery
130g
1 large zucchini
300g
1/3 cup red wine
72g
2 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
2 tbsp tomato puree
30g
2 cans canned tomatoes
800g
2 cups beef broth
500g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by preparing all of your vegetables. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, slice the carrots, chop the celery, and cut the zucchini into chunks. Cut the beef into bite-sized chunks if not already done.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the Beef: Add the beef chunks to the pot in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear the beef on all sides until it is browned. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
4. Cook the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Deglaze the Pot: Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce for a minute.
6. Stir in the Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
7. Add Tomato Puree: Stir in the tomato puree and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
8. Combine Ingredients: Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the carrots, celery, zucchini, canned tomatoes (with their juices), and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
9. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally and check for tenderness. The beef should be tender and the vegetables cooked through.
10. Seasoning: Taste the stew and season with salt and pepper as needed.
11. Serve: Ladle the hot stew into bowls and serve. Enjoy this hearty, flavorful dish with crusty bread or your favorite side dish.

Tips:

- For the best results, choose a cut of beef that is suitable for slow cooking, such as chuck or stew meat.

- Sear the beef in batches to get a good browning on all sides. This enhances the flavor of the stew.

- Deglaze the pot with red wine to lift the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom and incorporate them into the stew.

- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.

- Let the stew simmer gently to allow the flavors to develop. Slow cooking helps to tenderize the beef and blend the flavors of the ingredients.

- If the stew is too thick, add more beef broth or water to achieve your desired consistency.
