Directions

In a stew pot, heat up the extra-virgin olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef, onions and garlic. Sear for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add all of the wine. It should be enough to cover the beef. Season with salt and whole peppercorns.

Bring the wine to a boil. Lower the heat and allow it to gently simmer for approximately 2 hours.

    This recipe is exceptional.......

    I saw David make this one, but I thought, well I can just do a beef bourguinoun and it will be better, but I decided to just do his darn recipe.....

    IT WAS AWESOME......even my husband went crazy. This is the simplest recipe I have ever made that had this much wonderful flavor.....

    You do need to cook for the entire 2 hours. I used a Chuck Roast, and I did wind up using a Charles Shaw Syrah, ($3.00 instead of the chianti, and I promise no one could ever tell the difference.

    I did add a pinch of dried rosemary as that was Tuscan, but while it did add a little something, something, it was not necessary...... The sauce is a lovely brown, not just red from the wine......I would salt and pepper the meat and then the vegetables in layers as opposed to adding at the end, which I did and it was wonderful....

    Next time I make it, I will serve it over either a baked potato or egg noodles.

    Make this..........
