Ingredients for Beef In Red Wine Mushroom Sauce

  • Sirloin
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Safflower Oil
  • Sliced Mushrooms
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Red Wine
  • Beef Broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • Black Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder

How to Make Beef In Red Wine Mushroom Sauce

  1. Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Set aside.
  3. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  6. Return the browned beef to the pot. Add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 50 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
  7. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot over your favorite noodles or mashed potatoes.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
