Ingredients:
1/3 cup olive oil
1 large onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3 lbs beef eye round
salt and pepper
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 cups beef stock
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
3 sprigs fresh oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold water
Directions:
Heat half the oil in a Dutch oven.
Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft.
Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the remaining oil in the same pan.
Add the meat and cook, turning, until brown all over.
Return the onion mixture to the pan.
Add the wine, stock and herbs.
Cook, covered, over low heat for 1-1/2 hours, turning the meat once during cooking.
Remove the meat from the pan and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
While the meat is standing, make a gravy by mixing together the flour and cold water and blending them into the remaining pan juices.
Add a little extra stock to the pan if necessary.
Cook until thickened and strain.
Serve the sliced meat and gravy sprinkled with parsley.
