Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 300 F.
-
Pat beef chunks dry. In a large bowl, mix flour with salt and pepper.
-
Brown beef thoroughly in hot oil in a frying pan. Remove, coat with the seasoned flour, and transfer to an ovenproof casserole dish.
-
In the same pan, sauté shallots, garlic, and leeks for 1 minute, then add to the casserole.
-
Add wine to the frying pan and reduce by two-thirds. Whisk in 1 pint of hot stock and pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables in the casserole.
-
Stir in carrot chunks and a bay leaf.
-
Cover the casserole and bake for 2 to 4 hours, adding more beef stock as needed to prevent drying.
-
After at least 90 minutes of cooking, stir in button mushrooms, adjust seasoning, and continue baking for a final 30 minutes.
