Cooking Instructions

1 hour prep, 2 hours cooking
  1. 1

    Trim excess fat from the beef. In a bowl, mix the garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Using a knife and a sharpening rod, make holes lengthwise through the beef. Season the inside of the holes with half of the seasoning mixture. Stuff the beef with the vegetables.

  3. 3

    Tie the beef with kitchen twine. Season the outside of the beef with the remaining spices. Coat the beef with the flour.

  4. 4

    Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the beef on all sides. Once browned, transfer the beef to a large pot.

  5. 5

    In the same skillet with the remaining oil, sauté the onion, garlic, leftover vegetables, and herbs. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half.

  6. 6

    Add the vegetables, water or beef broth, bay leaf, tomato puree, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 2 hours or until the beef is tender. The beef is ready when a skewer goes in easily.

  7. 7

    Remove the beef from the pot and cover to keep warm. Let the liquid in the pot simmer uncovered until reduced to a little less than half. Taste and adjust salt if needed. You can strain the sauce and serve it with the beef, or serve it with the vegetables included.

  8. 8

    Slice the beef and serve with the sauce. You can serve the beef with mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, baked potatoes, rice, or pasta.
