Ingredients
- 7 to 8 tablespoons EVOO
- 2 1/2 to 3 pounds stew beef, at room temperature
- Salt
- 1 quart beef stock
- 1 onion, quartered
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
- 2 cups dry red wine
- 2 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/2-inch thick or cut into wedges
- 2 to 3 tablespoons rosemary, finely chopped
Instructions
- Drizzle the beef with 4 to 5 tablespoons of the EVOO and season with a little salt. Place the beef in large Dutch oven with the stock and enough water to just cover. Add the onion, bay leaves and 2 cloves of the garlic. Bring to a low boil and simmer, partially covered, for 2 hours. Stir together the tomato paste and 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid, then add to the pot. Add the pepper and wine and cover. Cook on the stovetop at a gentle simmer until very tender and falling apart, 2 1/2 to 3 hours (alternatively, transfer to the oven and roast at 325 degrees F). Cool and store. Reheat over medium heat or in a moderate oven.
- To serve, while the beef is reheating, boil the potatoes until tender and drain. Add the remaining 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil to a pot over medium heat. Add the remaining clove garlic, stir for minute, then remove the garlic. Add the potatoes and crisp a bit. Season with salt, pepper and the rosemary.

DELICIOUS! I couldn’t stop sampling as it was cooking! I browned the meat first before adding the liquid, and I undercooked the potatoes slightly so they didn’t fall apart while browning.
I overcooked by potatoes so they mushed as I was drying them out, so I turned them into mashed potatoes instead. It turned out very tender, but next time I will try to thicken up the liquid a bit. I will certainly make this again.
This was absolutley fantastic!!! The meat was so tender and delicious and serving it over the potatoes WOW! Thanks Rachel for another homerun! This is definitely a keeper for my family.
