**Top Rated 3**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb beef stew meat, cubed
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
– 2 celery stalks, chopped
– 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
– 1 can diced tomatoes
– 4 cups beef broth
– 1 cup red wine
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp dried rosemary
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tbsp olive oil
**Instructions:**
1. Start by seasoning the beef stew meat with salt and pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Once the beef is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add the diced onions and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
3. Return the browned beef to the pot. Add in the sliced carrots, chopped celery, and sliced mushrooms. Stir everything together and cook for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
4. Pour in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, and red wine. Add the dried thyme and rosemary, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Lower the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the stew simmer gently for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer the stew cooks, the more flavorful and tender the meat will become.
6. After simmering, taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve the Top Rated 3 stew hot in bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
