ingredients
5 1/2 pounds chuck-eye roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
4 ounces pancetta, cut into small dice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 yellow onions, coarsely chopped
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup full-bodied red wine
2 cups beef stock
1 tablespoon veal demi-glace
buttered parsleyed noodles, for serving
minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
directions
Season the beef generously with salt and pepper.
In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the pancetta until browned and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
Increase the heat to medium-high. Working in batches, brown the beef on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer the beef to a large bowl.
Reduce the heat to medium and warm the olive oil. Add the onions and carrots and saute until almost softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme and bay leaves and saute for about 30 seconds. Stir in the flour and cook until lightly colored, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the wine, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom. Add the stock, demi-glace and the reserved pancetta and bring to a simmer. Return the beef to the pan, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the meat is tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Remove the bay leaves and discard. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Serve the stew over buttered parsleyed noodles and garnish with parsley.

I used short ribs instead of chuck eye and thick cut bacon instead of pancetta. The demi glace and short rib bones gives this short rib stew a rich flavor.
