BEEF AND MUSHROOM STEW IN RED WINE

Steps:

• Start by creating the oil you will brown the beef in, and the best for a really rich, smoky flavor is bacon fat. Dice the bacon and cook in your stew pot over medium-high heat.

• Combine flour, rosemary, thyme and salt with black pepper to taste and shake with beef cubes until covered.
• Brown half of the beef in the fat, browning on both sides - add fat if it isn't browning properly. Remove the first batch of beef and brown the second, including any left over flour mixture. Add fat as needed, then remove from the pot and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium, mince garlic and add to pan, adding a little fat if needed. Once garlic becomes fragrant, add quartered mushrooms and cook briefly.
• Add red wine, stir to deglaze the pan, pour in broth and throw in the cubed carrots and crispy bacon bits. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer.
• Cover and cook on the stove-top until meat is tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
