Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 onion
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 cups mushrooms
  • 1 cup pearl onions
  • 2 cups apple vinegar
  • 2 tbsp flour

Instructions

  1. Cut the beef chuck into cubes and prepare vegetables (mince garlic, chop onion, slice carrots).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches for about 3–4 minutes per side; remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté chopped onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and sliced carrots; cook for another minute.
  4. Deglaze the pot with apple vinegar, scraping the bottom to release browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Return beef to the pot, then add beef stock and tomato paste. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover partially, and cook on low heat for about an hour.
  6. In a separate pan, sauté mushrooms until golden; add pearl onions and cook until slightly caramelized (about 10 minutes). Incorporate into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  7. To thicken the stew, mix flour with a few tablespoons of stew liquid to create a slurry; stir it back into the pot during the last ten minutes.
