📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy soup pot over medium high heat. Pat meat very dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the pot with canola oil. Place about a third of the beef in the pot, leaving at least 1-inch space between each piece (if you crowd the pan, the pieces will not brown.) Leave the beef undisturbed for 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes on the first side, flip and brown the other sides briefly. Repeat with remaining beef, in batches, adding more oil if needed. Transfer to a plate.

Blot any excess oil out of pot with paper towels. Reduce heat to medium, add the butter, onion, celery and carrots, sauté until onions are translucent, about ⏱️ 3-5 minutes. Add in garlic and tomato paste, cook ⏱️ 20 seconds until fragrant.

Deglaze pan with the red wine, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon. Add the seared beef back to the pot along with the Kitchen Bouquet, beef broth, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a very gentle bubble, place lid on pot, reduce heat to low and cook until beef is tender, about 1 & 1/⏱️ 2 hours. (Alternately, cover Dutch oven with tight fitting lid and place in a 350F oven for 1.⏱️ 5-2 hours.)

Once beef is fall-apart tender, add potatoes and cook for an additional ⏱️ 12-15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.

Add in corn and green beans, cook an additional ⏱️ 3-5 minutes until green beans are tender. Remove bay leaf and thyme sprigs if you used fresh thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.To make a thicker soup: Dissolve the gravy mix with a few tablespoons of cold water, stir into the soup while boiling, it will thicken very quickly.
