Ingredients

500 g beef cut into cubes
200 g mushrooms sliced
1 medium onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
2 red chillies finely chopped (adjust for spice level)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp flour
250 ml beef stock
125 ml red wine
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 leaf bay
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1/4 bunch fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper, then brown them in the hot oil, turning occasionally until golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.
500 g beef, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper
In the same pot, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, garlic, and chillies. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
1 medium onion, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 2 red chillies
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for another 5-6 minutes, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
200 g mushrooms
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in the beef stock and red wine, whisking to avoid lumps. Add the tomato paste and bay leaf, then stir everything together.
1 tbsp flour, 250 ml beef stock, 125 ml red wine, 1 tbsp tomato paste, 1 leaf bay
Return the browned beef to the pot. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken, and the beef will become tender.
Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf and serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
