1 sprig fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
4 peppercorns — crushed

Method
1. Combine the garlic, onions, carrots, parsley, bouquet garni, peppercorns, salt and wine to make a marinade.
2. Marinate the meat for several hours under refrigeration.
3. Remove and drain the meat. Reserve the marinade.
4. Dry the beef and sauté it in the oil until well browned. Do this in several batches if necessary.
5. Return all the meat to the pot. Sprinkle with flour and cook to make a blond roux.
6. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes.
7. Add the reserved marinade, tomatoes and brown stock. Cook in a 350ºF (180ºC) oven until the meat is tender, approximately 2 1/2 hours.
8. Remove the meat from the sauce. Strain the sauce through a china cap, pressing to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids. Return the liquid and the beef to the pot.
9. Sauté the mushrooms in the butter and add them to the meat and sauce. Add the onions and adjust the seasonings. Simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
