Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your space by gathering all your ingredients, tools, and a good playlist.
  2. Season the beef chuck with salt and pepper generously.
  3. Dredge the beef with flour, tossing to coat evenly.

  8. Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping the bottom, and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  9. Add the beef broth and the beef back into the pot, including the bouquet garni.
  10. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, covering for 2 to 2.5 hours.
  11. Finish the dish by stirring in butter and removing the bouquet garni before serving.
