Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Set aside a 5-7 quart heavy ovenproof pot.
Step 2
Pat dry the beef with paper towels, and cut into 2-inch cubes.
Step 3
Place pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp olive oil and enough beef to fit in a single layer with some space in between.
Step 4
Let the meat brown for 2 minutes, then turn the pieces to brown for another 2 minutes. Remove to a plate, and repeat with remaining oil and beef.
Step 5
Add the onions and garlic to the pan and sauté for 3 minutes using a wooden spoon and scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Add the browned beef, red wine, broth, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, flour, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Cover and place in the middle of the preheated oven to braise for 2 hours until the meat is tender and the sauce thickened.
Step 8
Remove the pot from the oven and add the potatoes and carrots. Return to the oven for 30 minutes more.
Step 9
Garnish with optional parsley. Serve and enjoy!
