Ingredients:

• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation:

1. Place flour in a large bowl and toss the beef until coated.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Working in batches, brown the beef. Set aside.
3. Add diced shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes or until softened.
4. Add garlic, stirring frequently for 1 minute or until fragrant.
5. Mix in fire-roasted bell peppers, tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and the browned beef, stirring to pick up additional flavor from the beef bits. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover for 1 hour.
