Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and set a rack in the lower middle position.
-
Pat the beef dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy soup pot, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
-
Brown the meat in 3 batches, turning with tongs, for about 5 minutes per batch; add 1 tablespoon more oil for each batch. Transfer the meat to a large plate and set it aside.
-
Add the onions, garlic, and balsamic vinegar; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, for about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute more.
-
Add the beef with its juices back to the pan and sprinkle with the flour. Stir with a wooden spoon for 1 to 2 minutes until the flour is dissolved. Add the wine, beef broth, water, bay leaf, thyme, and sugar.
-
Stir with a wooden spoon to loosen any brown bits from the bottom of the pan and bring to a boil. Cover the pot with a lid, transfer to the preheated oven, and braise for 2 hours.
-
Remove the pot from the oven and add the carrots and potatoes. Cover and place back in the oven for about 1 hour more, or until the vegetables are cooked, the broth is thickened, and the meat is tender.
-
Fish out the bay leaf and discard, then taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
-
Serve the stew warm and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
To sear the meat properly, do not crowd the pan and let the meat develop a nice brown crust before turning with tongs.
