Hearty Vegetarian Chili
Packed with three kinds of beans, corn, and peppers — this chili has serious flavor without any meat. The jalapeños and green chiles give it just the right kick.

Melt-in-your-mouth beef in a rich, deeply flavored sauce. Dead simple but absolutely stunning every time.
Pat beef dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Brown beef in batches - don't crowd the pot. You want deep golden color on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Add onions to the same pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste, cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in wine to deglaze, scraping up all those beautiful browned bits from the bottom. Let it bubble for 2 minutes.
Return beef to pot along with beef stock, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low.
Cook for 1.5 hours, then add carrots and potatoes. Continue cooking for another 30-45 minutes until beef is fork-tender and vegetables are cooked through.
Mix flour with a little cold water to make a slurry, stir into stew to thicken if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves before serving.
