Preparation
- Step 1
Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the meat in one layer. Add the cubed beef and cook over medium heat, stirring until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
- Step 2
Transfer the pieces of meat to a heavy cast-iron kettle, add the onions, garlic, mushrooms and thyme. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Add the flour. Blend well and stir for 1 minute. Add the wine, beef or chicken stock, bay leaf, cloves and allspice. Blend well and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, over low heat for 3½ hours to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender. Remove bay leaf. Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.

Made in the instant pot. 55 minutes and a natural release. Delicious!
Made this today on my day off. Used an $12 bottle of George’s Duboef 2017 Beaujolais Villages. Made the whole thing in my Le Crueset. Browned the meat in there in batches and set aside in a bowl while I cooked the onions garlic and mushrooms. Turned out great. Don’t forget to add salt and pepper to taste. I didn’t make any rice or noodles or bread. But I imagine it would be good with any of those.
Sounds like you made a great dish that would have been superior with bread, noodles or rice….what soaked up the sauce?

Wondering whether you could get this to the simmer stage on the stovetop, then transfer to a slow cooker for the 4 hours of cooking at low heat.... Anyone tried it?
