How to Make Beef With Tomato Gravy
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Lightly coat 2 lbs beef cubes (1-inch) with the flour mixture, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 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.
- Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano to the pot.
- Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot, for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Add 2 cloves garlic (minced) and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 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.
- Return the browned beef to the pot.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 120-150 minutes, or until the beef is incredibly tender. Stir occasionally.
- Before serving, remove and discard bay leaves. If desired, stir in 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Serve the beef and gravy over cooked noodles. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
