We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Step 2: In a shallow dish combine flour, salt and pepper. Roll beef pieces in the flour mixture and shake off excess.

  • Step 3: Heat 1/2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or heavy over proof skillet over medium-high heat. In two batches, brown the beef on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes per batch, using the remaining 1/2 tablespoons oil for the second batch.

  • Step 4: Remove the beef to a bowl and set aside.

  • Step 5: Reduce heat to medium; add onions, carrots and celery to the pan and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds.

  • Step 6: Stir in tomato sauce, wine basil thyme and bay leaf.

  • Step 7: Add the reserved beef and returned to a simmer.

  • Step 8: Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until the beef is tender, turning the meat once after 45 minutes.

  • Step 9: Discard the bay leaf, taste and adjust seasoning.

  • Step 10: Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
