Ingredients

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 6 whole cloves
• 5 tablespoons sunflower seed oil
• 2 pounds rib-eye steak, trimmed of fat and cubed
• 5 medium onions, halved and sliced
• 1 quart beef stock, or more as needed
• 4 large bay leaves
• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup red wine

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Sprinkle cubed rib-eye with flour until completely coated. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat oil in a heavy, cast iron casserole over medium-high heat. Add rib-eye in batches to the hot oil and cook on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove seared cubes before adding the next batch, but reuse the same oil.

Step 3

Once meat is cooked, add onions and butter to the casserole. Reduce heat to low and cook until onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Return meat to the casserole along with 1 quart beef stock, bay leaves, and cloves; stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Mix in red wine and add more stock if liquid is low. Cook for 2 more hours, stirring every so often, until beef is fork-tender.
