Cut the beef into chunks and season with salt and pepper.

Brown the beef on all sides, then remove and set aside.

In the same pot, add chopped onions, carrots, celery, and garlic; sauté until softened.

Stir in tomato paste and cook for a minute.

Return the beef to the pot and add red wine, scraping up any browned bits.

Pour in beef broth and add bay leaves.

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

Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is tender.

Add diced potatoes in the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Adjust seasoning before serving.
