Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 pounds lean top round, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
-
2 large sweet onions, diced
-
2 cups large chunks of celery
-
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into large rounds
-
1 pound crimini mushrooms, sliced
-
2 tablespoons minced garlic
-
2 cups dry red wine
-
4 large tomatoes, chopped
-
1 ½ pounds red potatoes (such as Red Bliss), cut into 1-inch chunks
-
1 tablespoon dried basil
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
-
½ teaspoon dried sage
-
1 quart beef stock
-
2 cups tomato sauce
Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef in batches in hot oil until browned completely, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove browned beef cubes to a plate lined with paper towels, keeping skillet over heat and retaining the beef drippings.
-
Cook and stir onion, celery, and carrots in the retained beef drippings until just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir mushrooms and garlic into the onion mixture.
-
Pour red wine into the pan; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking the mixture until the wine evaporates, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir tomatoes into the mixture.
-
Return beef to skillet with potatoes, basil, thyme, marjoram, and sage. Pour beef stock and tomato sauce over the mixture. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
-
Reduce heat to low and simmer until the beef is very tender and the sauce is thick, 4 to 6 hours.

Recipe Tip
To create a soup from this stew, chop the vegetables and beef pieces into much smaller pieces and add vegetable stock or water until it resembles a soup. Simmer briefly, but don't let it boil, as it will make the soup extremely cloudy.
