Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 
  • 1 lb beef stew meat (such as chuck), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground pepper

  • ½ cup dry red wine

  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, mushrooms, rosemary, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the meat has browned an all sides, 5 to 8 minutes.
  2. Stir in flour and tomato paste; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add wine and cook for 1 minute more, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
