Shop Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a bowl whisk together the first 6 ingredients.
  2. Chop the chuck roast into cubes and toss in the flour mixture.
  3. Heat a large Dutch oven-style pot with some olive oil over medium-high heat and add some of the beef to sear on all sides for a few minutes. You may have to do this in batches. Transfer the meat to a plate.
  4. Using the same pot, add 2 Tbsp. olive oil and the diced onion. Cook for a few minutes and then add the mushrooms and eggplant. Cook until everything is well colored and starting to get soft.
  5. Add Holland House® Red Cooking Wine, red wine, broth, ketchup, Worcestershire, and rosemary and mix well.
  6. Add the meat to the pot, cover with a lid and place in the oven.
  7. Cook for 1½ hours and then check for tender meat. It should be soft when pressed with a fork. Cook for a further 30 minutes with the lid removed.
  8. Check for seasoning and add more if desired.
  9. Serve with roasted or mashed potatoes.
