Beef Stew (Aaronson's)

Directions

Heat a large dutch oven until very hot and add the beef cubes.

Sear--when browned all over add the red onions and garlic and sauté for a minute or two with the beef.

Add the wine and allow to cook on high heat for one minute, lower heat to just above a simmer, add the tomatoes and stir and to incorporate the ingredients in the tomatoes.

Add the rest of the ingredients, except the salt and pepper, give them a few good stirs and cook for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender, stirring frequently.

Check often to insure that there is liquid in the pot.

If you see it drying out, add some water, ½ cup at a time.

Cook with the pot partially covered for the entire time.

Taste and adjust seasoning with herbs, salt and pepper and enjoy!
