Ingredients

Beef:

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

Soup Base:

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning

Veggies:

  • 4 cups chopped red potatoes
  • 3 cups chopped baby carrots
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Cut the beef chuck roast into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, mix the flour, paprika, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Toss the beef in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
  2. Sear the Beef: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, then set aside.
  3. Saute the Aromatics: In the same pot, melt the butter and sauté the shallot and garlic until fragrant.
  4. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the beef stock and Cabernet Sauvignon. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and the remaining kosher salt. Return the beef to the pot.
  5. Simmer the Soup: Cover and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is tender.
  6. Add Vegetables: Add the chopped potatoes and carrots. Continue simmering for another 30 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked through.
  7. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
