Ingredients

1 kg beef chuck
3 tbsp plain flour
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion
3 garlic cloves
2 tbsp tomato paste
250 ml red wine
1 L beef stock
4 carrots
3 potatoes
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper

Method

1
Pat the beef cubes very dry and season with salt and pepper, then toss in the flour to coat. Dry, floured meat browns and thickens the stew.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy pot over high heat. Brown the beef in batches (don't crowd, or it steams) until deeply browned on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch. Set aside. This browning is where the flavor lives.
3
Add the last tablespoon of oil and the onion; cook 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and stir 1 minute.
