Instructions

Sear the Beef - (Skip this section if using leftover roast beef)

In a Dutch oven or large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Season the beef with salt and pepper and 2 tablespoons of flour.
4 tablespoons flour, divided, salt and pepper, to taste, 1½ lbs. chuck roast, trimmed and cubed
Working in batches, brown the beef. Each batch will take 5-7 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes.
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
Stir in the tomato paste and cook 2 more minutes.
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Deglaze the pan with the dry red wine (or water). While the alcohol evaporates, scrape the bottom of the pan to get off any flavorful bits.
½ cup dry red wine (water can be substituted)
Mix in the remaining flour and cook 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
Stir in the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried tarragon and bay leaves.
