Classic French beef daube Now, let’s get down to business with the ingredients you’ll need to become the master of this hearty delight:

3 pounds of beef chuck, cut into 2-inch cubes
1/2 cup of olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 bottle (750 ml) of red wine (the fancier, the better!)
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon of tomato paste
2 cups of beef stock

Alright, enough chit-chat! Time to unleash your inner chef. Here’s how to whip up this magnificent dish:

In a large dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, making sure they are gloriously golden. Remove them and set aside. We want them to feel fancy!
Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the same pot. Sauté until those veggies are all soft and fragrant. Think of it as building a flavor foundation.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute. Feel free to practice your Italian accent while doing this – “Mama mia!” sounds delightful!
Pour in the wine, and scrape up any delicious bits stuck to the bottom of the pot – we don’t waste flavor around here!
Add the beef back into the pot, along with the bay leaves, thyme, salt, pepper, and beef stock. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover and let it simmer for about 2-3 hours. This is where the magic happens, so don’t rush it! Maybe twirl in the kitchen or dance with a spatula while you wait!
Once it’s done, serve it up hot with some crusty bread or over creamy mashed potatoes. Voilà! You’re now a French culinary genius!

Enjoy your culinary masterpiece and don’t forget to share with friends, or not – we won’t judge if you keep it all to yourself!
