How to Make Beef And Mushroom Stew In Red Wine

  1. Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large 12-inch stew pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add beef cubes in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Brown the beef on all sides, working in batches if necessary. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
  4. Remove browned beef from the pot and set aside.
  5. Add 1 large chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add 1 pound of sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Pour in 1 bottle (750ml) of dry red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  8. Stir in 2 cups of beef broth, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1 bay leaf.
  9. Return the beef to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the stew is too thick, add a little more beef broth. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce the liquid.
  11. Serve hot with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
