Oven-Braised Beef in Red Wine with Vegetables

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This festive beef braise takes time but rewards you with rich, tender meat in a deeply flavored red wine sauce—the key is starting a day ahead with an overnight marinate and allowing 2-3 hours in the oven for the beef to become melt-in-your-mouth tender. Beyond the initial marinate, most of the work is hands-off oven time, so it's perfect for a relaxed Sunday meal.
