🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon

Vegetable broth is lower in fat, and bouillon is cost-effective.

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Add sliced onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Dust beef pieces with flour, then add to the pot, browning on all sides for 8-10 minutes.

Pour in red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.

Add beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, cloves, and sugar; stir to combine.

Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cover.

Cook for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until beef is tender.

Add vinegar, salt, and black pepper to taste; stir well.

In the last 30 minutes, add chopped carrots and potatoes to the pot.

Continue to cook until vegetables are tender and flavors meld.
