How to Make Beef With Tomato Gravy

1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Lightly coat 2 lbs beef cubes (1-inch) with the flour mixture, ensuring even coverage.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. This will take about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove browned beef and set aside.
5. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano to the pot.
6. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot, for about 5 minutes until softened.
7. Add 2 cloves garlic (minced) and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
8. Stir in 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes, 2 bay leaves, 2 cups beef consommé, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup dry red wine.
9. Return the browned beef to the pot.
10. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
11. Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 120-150 minutes, or until the beef is incredibly tender. Stir occasionally.
12. Before serving, remove and discard bay leaves. If desired, stir in 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
13. Serve the beef and gravy over cooked noodles. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
