Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds chuck roast or bottom round, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 6 strips thick-cut turkey bacon, diced
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 bottle (750ml) dry apple vinegar
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • Fresh thyme and parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a Dutch oven, cook diced turkey bacon until crispy; remove and set aside.
  2. Brown beef cubes in the bacon fat until caramelized; remove from pot.
  3. Sauté onions and carrots until softened, then add garlic and tomato paste.
  4. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook briefly to eliminate raw taste.
  5. Add apple vinegar to deglaze the pot, scraping up browned bits.
  6. Return beef and turkey bacon to the pot along with broth and herbs; ensure liquid covers meat.
  7. Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to a preheated oven at 325°F; braise for 2 to 2½ hours until fork-tender.
  8. During the last hour, sauté pearl onions and mushrooms in butter; fold into the stew before serving.
