Red Wine Braised Beef w/ Garlic Mashed Potatoes

There is something truly special about having Red Wine Braised Beef with Garlic Mashed Potatoes in a cold, chilly cabin. On cold, crisp winter days, in particular, it brings an extra sense of warmth and comfort. Slow-cooked to perfection, the beef is marinated in sweet red wine and my signature blend of aromatic spices, and then paired with creamy garlic mashed potatoes. Altogether, it’s comfort food at its absolute best!

this RECIPE!

This beautiful, flavorful dish is surprisingly effortless to make! What I love most about this recipe, in particular, is the slow cooking method and how the ingredients gradually transform it into a soft, melt-in-your-mouth experience. First, the initial sear builds depth and flavor; then, a long stovetop simmer creates a silky, creamy texture and a deep, rich sauce you’ll inevitably want spoonfuls of on top of every bite. I promise!

And creating it in a warm, cozy Big Bear cabin retreat made it even more perfect. Can’t wait to share down below.

Needed some Time to Unwind at the Summit Haven! 🌳

We were so excited to finally take some time off after the holidays. We’d had a place in mind for a while up in Big Bear called Summit Haven, and it ended up being everything we hoped for. I even named this recipe “The Signature Summit Haven Dish!”

This getaway had been on my New Year’s resolution list to truly unwind in a chilly mountain cabin and do what I love most. I wanted to spend quality time with my family and cook up there. I was blown away by how beautifully the place was put together. Even though there were great spots nearby to eat out, the kitchen completely won my heart. I couldn’t resist staying in, cooking a cozy meal, and creating some content at the same time, just like I love to do.

It truly felt like a home away from home. The cabin had all the cooking amenities, a comfortable atmosphere, and even game rooms that kept us busy throughout our stay. I can’t wait for you to try this recipe. This braised beef was the perfect dish for our first night there.

🍴INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE THESE RED WINE BRAISED BEEF WITH GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Here is a preview of the ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe! You can find these at your local grocery store, or you can shop online. (Detailed ingredients in Recipe Card down below) ⬇️

Braised Beef

• Beef Chuck Pot Roast – This cut has the perfect balance of fat and lean meat, making it ideal for slow braising to achieve tender, flavorful beef!
• Italian Seasoning
• Kinder Steak Seasoning
• Paprika
• Garlic Powder
• All- Purpose Flour
• Beef Stock (organic – low sodium)
• Sweet / Dry Red Wine (Cabernet Sauvignon)
• Carrots
• Celery
• Italian Parsley

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

STEPS TO MAKE THIS RECIPE!

See Recipe Card for more in-depth ingredient details down below. ⬇️

Step 1: Cut the beef into large chunks and season generously. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and braise until one side is well seared, then flip and sear the other side. Once the beef is seared, add the chopped onions. Pour in your beef bouillon and red wine. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and allow the beef to simmer for about 2 hours, or until it begins to tenderize.

Step 2: As the beef continues to cook, chop the celery, carrots, Italian parsley, and garlic and set aside. Then chop the unpeeled potatoes into four equal pieces. Place them in a salted pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender.

Step 3: Once the beef is soft and tender (this can take up to 3 hours on the stovetop), add the vegetables and garlic to the pot. In a separate nonstick pan, lightly toast the flour until fragrant. Gradually add the flour to the sauce, stirring well to prevent lumps. The flour will begin to create a delicious, rich gravy as it cooks.

Step 4: Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook for an additional 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them well. Add crushed garlic, butter, and milk, then mash until creamy and smooth.

Serve the red wine–braised beef over the garlic mashed potatoes and enjoy!
