How to Make Beef In Red Wine Brandy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the beef, red wine, brandy, beef broth, onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a 3-quart casserole dish or Dutch oven.
  4. Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.

  8. Cover and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
