Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3/4 pound boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
  • 1 (7 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 (4.66 ounce) container beef stock concentrate (such as Knorr(r) Homestyle Stock
  • 1 (4.5 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, drained
  • 1 (.4 ounce) packet dry vegetable soup mix (such as Knorr®)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions
1
Begin by preheating the oven to its optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
In a large, airtight container, combine the dry ingredients of flour, salt, and black pepper. Divide the beef into manageable portions and place them inside the container in batches, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the dry mixture. Shake the container vigorously to distribute the seasonings evenly.
3
Heat a substantial amount of oil in a heavy, oven-safe cooking vessel over the medium-high heat setting. Carefully add the beef to the hot oil and stir constantly until it is evenly browned on all sides, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
4
Next, pour a generous amount of red wine into the same cooking vessel, taking care to dislodge any browned residue from the bottom of the pot. Return the beef to the pot and add the tomato soup, water, potatoes, carrots, celery, corn, onion, beef stock concentrate, mushrooms, and vegetable soup mix. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
5
Cover the pot with a lid to trap the heat and allow the ingredients to simmer together. Place the pot in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour.
6
After an hour of baking, add a splash of beef stock to the pot. Continue to bake until the beef is extremely tender, requiring an additional 1 hour.
7
At this point, your dish should be ready to serve.
