Beef Provencal

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Step 2

Place olive oil in large dutch oven over medium low heat. Add garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon.

Step 3

Increase heat to medium high. Place half of beef in pan and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅙ teaspoon pepper. Brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and repeat with remaining beef, ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper.

Step 4

Once all beef is browned, pour wine into pan to deglaze. (Make sure you scrape up all those delicious browned bits!) Return garlic and beef to the pan along with 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, carrots, mushrooms, onion, beef broth, tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, diced tomatoes and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.

Step 5

Cover pan and place in the oven. Bake for 2 ½ - 3 hours or until meat is fork tender. Remove bay leaf. Serve over noodles.
