Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds chuck roast or bottom round, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 6 strips thick-cut turkey bacon, diced
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound small pearl onions, peeled
  • 1 pound button or cremini mushrooms, quartered
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 750ml dry apple vinegar
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • Fresh herbs: bay leaves, thyme sprigs

Instructions

  1. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook diced turkey bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
  2. Brown the beef cubes in the rendered fat until caramelized. Set aside.
  3. Sauté onions and carrots until softened; add garlic and tomato paste, cooking briefly.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mixture; stir for 2 minutes to remove raw taste.
  5. Pour in apple vinegar while scraping up browned bits; add broth and return beef and bacon to pot.
  6. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and bake at 325°F for 2 to 2½ hours until beef is fork-tender.
  7. In the last hour, sauté pearl onions in butter and cook mushrooms until moisture evaporates; fold into the stew before serving.
