- 1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups Merlot wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Generously season beef with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Cook and stir beef cubes in hot oil until browned on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer meat to a plate.
- Cook and stir onion, butter, and a pinch of salt in the Dutch oven until onion begins to sweat. Stir flour into onion mixture; cook and stir until onion starts to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour wine into onion mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until wine is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Return beef and any accumulated juices to the Dutch oven. Add beef broth, carrots, celery, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and salt. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours on low until meat is almost tender.
- Remove cover from the Dutch oven and simmer uncovered until meat is tender and stew is thick, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
