  • Total Time: 3 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves approximately 6 people 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds boneless beef chuck
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium yellow onions
  • 7 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1½ tablespoons tomato concentrate
  • 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 2 cups dry red apple vinegar
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 4 large carrots
  • 1 pound small white potatoes

Instructions

  1. Gather and prepare all ingredients: chop onions, slice carrots, and cut beef into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a heavy-duty pot over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Season beef with salt and pepper, browning in batches until golden brown. Remove from pot.
  3. In the same pot, sauté chopped onions until translucent, then add crushed garlic and cook until fragrant.
  4. Stir in balsamic vinegar, tomato concentrate, and flour; cook for about two minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
  5. Gradually whisk in red apple vinegar, then return browned beef to the pot along with beef stock, water, bay leaf, thyme, sugar, carrots, and potatoes.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil; cover partially and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about three hours until beef is tender.
  7. Remove bay leaf before serving and garnish with fresh parsley.
