Instructions:
Step 1:
Preheat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add a little bit of oil. Once hot, add the beef and season it generously with salt. Cook the beef until brown on all sides. Once done, transfer to a sew pot.
Step 2:
Deglaze the pan with some water and add more oil. Next, add the diced carrots, onion, and celery sticks. Saute for about 4 to 6 minutes until the onions are translucent and softened. Next, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Once done, add them to the sew pot.
Step 3:
In the same pan, add butter and mushrooms. Brown them for about 4 to 5 minutes, then season with salt, then add the flour. Cook for about 1 minute. Once done, transfer it into the pot.
Step 4:
Add 1 cup of red wine, 1 cup of tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, sugar, Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and beef broth into the pot. Give it a good stir until well combined. Place the lid and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once it starts to boil, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for an hour and a half.
Step 5:
Add the baby potatoes and frozen peas. Cook for another 20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender. Serve in a bowl and garnish with fresh parsley.
