Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
1/2 bottle good red wine

Directions
Heat oven to 350 F. Dry beef well with paper towel. Generously sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Get a dutch oven cast iron going on your stove...medium high works well. Add enough olive oil to coat bottom. Add beef. Sear well on all sides until a nice crust forms. Add wine. Cook for a few minutes on medium. Add veggies, garlic and tomatoes. Put lid on and put in oven for 3 hours. Serve with polenta or mashed potatoes.
