Instructions
- 1
Toss beef cubes in flour seasoned with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper until evenly coated. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear beef 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned on all sides. Do not crowd the pot or the meat will steam instead of sear. Transfer to a plate.

Add onion and celery to the drippings; cook 4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and tomato paste; cook 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in red wine and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up all browned bits. Return beef to the pot with broth, thyme, and bay leaves.

Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat for 1 hour. Add carrots, potatoes, and celery; cover and cook another 30–40 minutes until vegetables are tender and beef shreds easily with a fork. Discard bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
