Indulge in the comforting flavors of Boeuf Carottes tonight, a classic French dish that brings the warmth of home-cooked goodness to your table.

1

Start by cutting the beef into large chunks and seasoning it with salt and pepper.

2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef chunks and brown them on all sides, which should take about 10 minutes.

3

Remove the browned beef from the pot and set it aside on a plate.

4

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and diced carrots. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

5

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

6

Pour the red wine into the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

7

Return the beef to the pot, then add the beef stock, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

8

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The beef should become tender and the flavors meld together.

9

After 2 hours, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
