DIRECTIONS
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the flour and toss to coat the beef.
Heat the oil in a heavy stockpot over medium-high heat until good and hot. Add the beef cubes, spacing them about an inch apart to ensure proper browning. Generously brown on all sides, working in batches until all the beef is browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add the onions to the pot, adding a little more oil if necessary. Cook until soft and translucent, 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the wine and bring to a rapid boil, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the beef to the pot along with the beef broth, spices and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 1 hour.
Add the vegetables, return to a boil, cover and simmer over low heat for another hour. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with crusty bread.
