Instructions

1- Preparation:

Prepare all vegetables by peeling and chopping as necessary.
Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper, and then coat them with flour.

2- Cooking:

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-duty pot, Le Creuset, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the beef cubes in batches to not overcrowd the pot. Brown them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent.
Stir in the carrots and potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes.
Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and optional red wine.
Add the diced tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender. Stir occasionally.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
