Ingredients

4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 2 1/2 lb), cut into 1-inch chunks
5 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb carrots, peeled and sliced (2 1/2 cups)
1 large yellow onion, chopped (2 cups)
8 oz white button mushrooms, rinsed and halved
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon (from 6-oz can) Muir Glen™ organic tomato paste
1 1/2 cups Pinot Noir
1 1/2 cups Progresso™ beef flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Steps

1

Heat 5-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add bacon; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until just crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Reserve drippings in Dutch oven. Toss beef with 2 tablespoons of the flour; season with salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high. Working in two batches, brown beef cubes in drippings 2 to 3 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Reserve on plate with bacon. Repeat with remaining beef cubes.
2

Add carrots and onion to Dutch oven; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened. Stir in mushrooms and garlic; cook about 1 minute or until garlic is fragrant. Add tomato paste; stir to coat vegetables. Add wine, broth, thyme sprigs, beef and bacon. Heat to simmering. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook 55 to 60 minutes or until beef and carrots are tender.
3

Remove thyme sprigs. In small bowl, mix remaining 3 tablespoons flour and softened butter; mash with fork to form a paste. Beat butter mixture into wine mixture in Dutch oven with whisk. Simmer about 3 minutes, beating continuously, until paste is completely dissolved and broth has thickened.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Save the remaining tomato paste by scooping it in 1-tablespoon amounts on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, and freezing. Once frozen, toss them in a resealable food-storage plastic bag in the freezer, and use within 6 months.
tip 2
Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles or rice.
