How to Make Beef With Red Wine Veggies Casserole
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and 4 cloves minced garlic. Cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes, to the pan and brown on all sides. This will enhance the flavor of the casserole.
- Transfer the browned beef and vegetables to your slow cooker.
- Add 1 bottle (750ml) of dry red wine (such as Burgundy or Cabernet Sauvignon), 1 cup beef broth, 1 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 bay leaf, 1 lb carrots (peeled and chopped), 1 lb potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 cup cremini mushrooms (sliced), and 1/2 cup pearl onions.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Cook on high for 4-5 hours, or on low for 7-9 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
