Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the boneless beef chuck with dry red wine, pearl onions, carrots, garlic, fresh thyme, and bay leaves. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
- Once marinated, strain the marinade, reserving the wine. Pat the beef dry, season with salt and black pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil and sear the beef on all sides for about 6–8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until browned. Set aside.
- Add pearl onions back into the pot and sauté until golden. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour in reserved wine, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 15-20 minutes.
- Lower heat, add butter, carrots, tomato paste, and flour to form a roux. Gradually whisk in beef stock.
- Return seared beef to the pot, pour in the reduced wine mixture, cover and simmer on low for 2.5 to 3 hours.
- Add reserved mushrooms, sautéed onions, and garlic in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Discard bay leaves and thyme stems. Adjust seasoning, let rest before serving, and garnish with parsley.

Notes
For a deeper flavor, allow the stew to sit overnight before serving. It often tastes better the next day.
