**Burgundy Beef And Vegetable Stew**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
– 2 celery stalks, chopped
– 1 cup burgundy wine
– 4 cups beef broth
– 2 teaspoons dried thyme
– 1 bay leaf
– 1 cup pearl onions, peeled
– 1 cup button mushrooms, halved
– 2 tablespoons tomato paste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. In a large bowl, season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. Add the flour and toss to coat the beef evenly.
2. In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the beef and set it aside.
3. In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the carrots and celery, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until slightly softened.
5. Return the seared beef back to the pot. Pour in the burgundy wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
6. Add the beef broth, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the stew to a simmer, then cover and cook over low heat for 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
7. Add the pearl onions, mushrooms, and tomato paste to the stew. Continue simmering for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
9. Serve the Burgundy Beef and Vegetable Stew hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Warm, inviting, and bursting with flavors, this Burgundy Beef and Vegetable Stew is the quintessential comfort food to fill your home with love and warmth. Enjoy every spoonful of this hearty dish and savor the moments shared around the table.
