  3. Coat the cubed beef with Wondra flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. Brown the floured beef in the bacon and butter mixture, working in batches if necessary, until sealed on all sides.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the dry onion soup mix, golden mushroom soup, tomato sauce, beef broth, dry red wine, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth.
  6. Pour the liquid mixture over the browned beef in the pot.
  7. Stir well to combine all ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil on the stovetop.
  8. Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  9. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.

Note

Salt is likely not needed due to the saltiness of the bacon and soup mixes, but taste before serving and adjust if necessary.

For a richer sauce, you can reduce the wine separately before adding it to the pot.

This stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld further. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir into the stew during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
