Throw It In and Let It Go – One Pot Meal

Ingredients

• 4 pounds chuck meat, cut into 3- to 4-inch pieces, or 4 pounds precut stew meat
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 bottle dry red wine
• 1 1/2 pounds shallots, peeled
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 8 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions

1. Heat oven to 300° F. Season the beef with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add some of the beef to the pot and brown on all sides. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef.
2. Spoon off and discard all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Add the wine and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom, for 3 minutes.
3. Return the beef to the pot along with the shallots and broth. Bring to a boil. Skim any foam. Add the thyme. Cover and transfer to oven until the beef is tender, about 2 hours. Spoon into individual bowls.
