Ingredients
- 2 pounds of beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of beef broth
- 1 cup of red wine
- 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 pound of mushrooms, sliced

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the beef cubes in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

- Add the sliced mushrooms and carrots to the pot. Continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
