Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place a Dutch oven in the oven to heat for 20 minutes.

Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and add olive oil to it.

Cut the beef chuck into chunks and season with garlic salt.

Sear the beef chunks in the hot Dutch oven until browned on the edges.

Add 1 cup of beef broth, 2 to 4 ounces of tomato paste, thyme, bay leaf, and red wine to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a simmer on the stove before transferring it back to the oven.

Lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and cover the pot with a lid.

Braise the beef in the oven for several hours until fork tender, checking occasionally to ensure the liquid does not evaporate too much.

Prepare the vegetables: remove the outer skin from the shallots and onions, then blanch them in cold water to make peeling easier.

Quarter the onions and prepare the mushrooms in a bowl for later use.

After about an hour and a half, check the beef; if it's tender, add the prepared vegetables to the pot.
