Instructions
- In a large heavy bottom casserole, on high heat, brown the beef with little olive oil and working in small batches. It is important to season the beef well at this point with salt and pepper.
- Once you have browned all the meat, reduce the heat to medium and sweat the onions, celery and carrots, garlic and add the bay leaf as well (5 minutes). Add the beef back to the pot and add the wine and tomatoes, cook for 5 minutes.
