STEP BY STEP
Let’s make it.
- Heat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Pat the beef dry and season with half the salt and all the pepper.
- Heat the oil in a lidded oven-safe pot. Brown the beef in uncrowded batches, about 10 minutes in total. Transfer to a bowl.
- Cook the onion and mushrooms in the pot for 6 minutes. Stir in garlic, tomato paste and thyme for 1 minute, then add the measured water and scrape the base.
- Return the beef and its juices; cover and braise for 2 hours. Stir in the radishes and remaining salt, then cook covered for 30–45 minutes until the beef is fork-tender.
- The beef must exceed 145°F (63°C); a braise cooks much further for tenderness. Rest for 5 minutes and divide meat, vegetables and all gravy into 4 servings.
Kitchen notes
- Check the liquid occasionally and add plain water if the pot becomes dry. Extra water changes the finished weight, not ingredient nutrient totals.
