Method
 

Directions
  1. Season and flour the beef. Coat the beef chunks evenly with salt and pepper, then dust them gently with flour.
  2. Brown the beef in oil. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the beef in batches until golden brown.
  3. Sauté onions and garlic. In the same pot, add chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until translucent.
  4. Stir in tomato paste and cook briefly. Add the tomato paste, stir for 1-2 minutes to enhance its flavor.
  5. Deglaze with red wine. Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Return beef and add broth. Place the browned beef back in the pot, pour in the broth, bay leaves, and thyme, and stir.
  7. Cover and simmer for 90 minutes. Reduce heat and let the stew simmer gently.
  8. Add carrots and potatoes. Stir in sliced carrots and cubed potatoes, cover, and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
  9. Remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning. Take out bay leaves, taste, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
