Does this look wrong?
Ingredients
  1. 3 tbsp. vegetable oil
  2. 2 lb. beef chuck stew meat, cubed into 1" pieces
  3. 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  4. 2 onions, chopped
  5. 4 carrots, peeled and cut into rounds
  6. 3 stalks celery, chopped
  7. 1 tsp Kosher salt
  8. 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  9. 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  10. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  11. 1 14.5oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes with garlic
  12. 6 c. low-sodium beef broth
  13. 1 c. red wine (optional)
  14. 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  15. 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  16. 1 tsp. dried or fresh thyme leaves
  17. 2 bay leaves
  18. 1 lb. baby potatoes, halved
  19. 1 c. frozen peas
  20. 1/4 c. freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
  1. In a large dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add beef and cook until seared on all sides, 10 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Transfer beef to a plate.
  2. In the same pot, cook onion, carrots, and celery until soft, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add garlic and tomato paste and cook until garlic is fragrant and tomato paste has darkened, 2 minutes.
  3. Add beef back to dutch oven then add broth, wine, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaves.
  4. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and let simmer until beef is tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
  5. Add potatoes and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, 15 minutes.
  6. Remove bay leaves. Stir in peas and cook until warmed through, 2 minutes. Season stew to taste with salt and pepper, then ladle into serving bowls and garish with parsley.
Notes
  1. Why Beef Chuck?
  2. Two reasons: 1) It's cheap! 2) It gets more tender the longer it cooks. Some quick-cooking cuts of meat (like sirloin) would get tough after simmering for 30 to 45 minutes. The opposite is true with beef chuck. If you find your beef isn't tender after 45 minutes, continue simmering, adding more broth or water as needed.
  3. Wine Isn't Completely Necessary
  4. Wine adds a layer of rich complex flavor to your stew. If you don't have any leftover cooking wine on hand, your stew will be delicious without it—just sub in more beef stock! Word to the wise, though: open wine keeps for MONTHS in the fridge. (For cooking. For drinking... eh, not so much.) So yes, that half glass of Pinot from September will work just fine.
