Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat

  • 2 medium onions, quartered

  • 1 (750 milliliter) bottle red wine

  • 6 carrots, chopped into large chunks

  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme

  • 2 large bay leaves

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Brown beef in batches if necessary, making sure not to overcrowd the pan; otherwise, beef will not brown properly. Remove browned beef to the slow cooker.

  2. Add onions to the same skillet. Cook and stir until softened and beginning to take some color, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer onions to the slow cooker.

  3. Place the skillet back over medium-high heat and pour in 1/2 of the wine. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and carefully pour into the slow cooker along with remaining wine. Add carrots, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.

  4. Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.

Recipe Tip

If sauce is too thin after cooking, simmer uncovered in the slow cooker until reduced. You can also thicken sauce using 1 to 2 tablespoons flour; mix 1/4 cup sauce with flour in a small bowl until no lumps remain, then whisk into the slow cooker and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
