Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup red wine (Burgundy or any dry red wine)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare Ingredients: Chop vegetables and cut the beef into bite-sized pieces. Choose well-marbled beef for the best flavor and tenderness.
2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking.
3. Sauté the Beef: Drizzle olive oil in the air fryer basket. Add the beef in a single layer. Sauté at 400°F for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through to achieve even browning.
4. Add Vegetables: Add chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and mushrooms to the beef. Stir to combine.
5. Add Liquids and Seasoning: Pour in the red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste. Add thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
6. Simmer: Reduce the air fryer temperature to 350°F. Cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.
7. Check Doneness: After 25 minutes, check the beef for tenderness. It should be easily pierced with a fork. If not, cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the bay leaf. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
For the best results, use a good quality, well-marbled beef chuck. Preheating the air fryer is crucial for even cooking. Make sure to stir the stew occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure all ingredients cook evenly.
