Instructions
- Start by seasoning the beef well, on all sides with salt and pepper.
- In a dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil. Brown roast on all sides to lock in moisture and flavor [about 15-min]. Transfer to a plate.
- To the grease left in the pot, add in onions and garlic and saute until onions are translucent [about 2-3 minutes]. Then stir in the tomato paste, then flour.
- At this point the flour will absorb all the oil/ moisture. Add the wine, stir and allow the wine to reduce <1-2 minutes>. Add beef broth, a few sprigs of fresh thyme and bay leaves.
- Transfer the beef back to the pot. Add carrots and potatoes around the beef in the pot. Cover and cook in the oven at 350F degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- When done, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve.
