Directions
-
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (133.5 degrees C).
- Over medium heat, heat olive oil in a Dutch oven. Add the beef in batches, and cook for about 4 minutes on each side. Add carrot and onion; cook for about 20 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
- Pour the beef stock and wine into the Dutch oven. Bring to a boil. Add porcini mushrooms, bay leaves, bouillon, thyme, and bouillon cubes. Place a sheet of parchment over the top. Cover the surface with a lid.
