Instructions

Cut the beef roast into chunks and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Sear the meat in batches until browned on all sides, then set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the onions to the same pot. Cook until golden brown and softened.
Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir to coat.
Pour in the red Burgundy and port wine. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Add the seared meat, carrots, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
If the liquid doesn’t fully cover the meat, top off with water until submerged.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for at least 2 hours.
Stir every 20 minutes, checking the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
When the beef is fork-tender and the sauce has thickened, remove the herb sprigs and bay leaves.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Add sautéed mushrooms during the final 30 minutes for added umami.

Swap in pearl onions for a traditional touch.

Replace some wine with beef stock for a milder flavor.

Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Use herbes de Provence instead of individual herbs.

Include root vegetables like parsnips or potatoes for added texture.

Leftovers improve in flavor the next day.
