INGREDIENTS

• 4 pounds of beef chuck trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil Marketplace Portobello & Garlic EVOO
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 4 cups of finely diced onions
• 2 large cloves of garlic crushed and peeled
• 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons of Get-R-Smoked Smoked Paprika
• 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh marjoram or 1 teaspoon dried
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of Get-R-Smoked Dirty Croc Seasoning, divided
• Freshly ground pepper to taste
• 2 pounds of portobello mushrooms cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 cup of reduced-sodium beef broth
• 8 large mushroom caps cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2-3 teaspoons of finely minced fresh tarragon or dill for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Heat oil and butter in a large heavy casserole or Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in tomato paste, paprika and marjoram.
• Season beef with 1 teaspoon Dirty Croc. Add the beef and portobelo mushrooms to the pot; gently stir to combine. Add broth and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
• Transfer the pot to the oven and bake until the beef is very tender, 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 hours. Stir in mushrooms caps and continue baking, covered, for 15 minutes more. Remove from the oven, uncover and let stand, undisturbed, for about 15 minutes.
