Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices bread
- 4 anchovy fillets
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
-
Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper.
-
Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
-
In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
-
Return the beef to the pot and add the beef broth, red wine, and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil, then cover and transfer to the preheated oven.
-
Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
-
While the beef is braising, prepare the anchovy toasts. Toast the bread slices until golden brown.
-
Spread each slice with softened butter, then top with an anchovy fillet.
-
Cut the toasts into bite-sized pieces and serve alongside the braised beef.
-
Remove the thyme sprigs from the pot and season the beef with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
-
Serve the braised beef hot, with the anchovy toasts on the side.
