- 2 pounds beef stewing meat/chuck roast fat trimmed off and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil more if needed
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch, cornstarch, or all-purpose flour
- 5 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme finely chopped or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 large carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
- crusty bread for serving
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a bowl, toss the beef with salt and pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the meat in batches until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Set the beef aside.
Add the balsamic vinegar to the pot and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the onion, garlic, and shallot, and cook until the onion is translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and ketchup.
Add the beef with accumulated juices back to the pot. Sprinkle with tapioca starch and stir for 1 minute. Add beef broth, red wine, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the stew to a boil, cover, and bake for 1 ½ hours. Add carrots and potatoes, and cook until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Discard bay leaves and season if needed.
Serve garnished with parsley and with crusty bread.
