That being said this is a great recipe and because I know how much my large sons love it I inevitably double up on everything and make a huge pot that so there is plenty of leftovers. I actually think it tastes better the next day too! On another note I have been growing my own herbs this summer and they are excellent substitutions for the dried herbs used in this recipe. The fresh herbs go well with the wine and even if you are not a drinker of wine make sure you buy something decent for a recipe like this as you cannot beat the lovely rich aroma it produces. The end result is fantastic and I am positive you will make this stew more than once. Don&#8217;t be lazy and get your bread cooker out and make some fresh bread to serve it with.<br \/>\n<div id=\"pressrelease-link-39342\" class=\"sh-link pressrelease-link sh-hide\"><a href=\"#\" onclick=\"showhide_toggle('pressrelease', 39342, 'Show Me The Recipe Please', ''); return false;\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><span id=\"pressrelease-toggle-39342\">Show Me The Recipe Please<\/span><\/a><\/div><div id=\"pressrelease-content-39342\" class=\"sh-content pressrelease-content sh-hide\" style=\"display: none;\"> <\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>3 lbs boneless chuck roast, cut into 2-inch pieces<\/li>\n<li>3 tbsp vegetable oil<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp salt<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp freshly ground pepper<\/li>\n<li>2 yellow onions, cut into 1-inch chunks<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup flour<\/li>\n<li>3 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n<li>1 cup red wine<\/li>\n<li>3 cups beef broth<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp dried rosemary<\/li>\n<li>1 bay leaf<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp dried thyme<\/li>\n<li>4 carrots, peeled, cut into 1-inch slices<\/li>\n<li>2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch slices<\/li>\n<li>3 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut in eighths<\/li>\n<li>fresh parsley to garnish (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Directions<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>On medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil to a large heavy pot (one that has a tight fitting lid).<\/li>\n<li>When it begins to smoke slightly, add the beef and brown very well.
