- 3
Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch, then remove the beef and set aside.
Ca. 12 min.
Kokkens note: Do not overcrowd the pot; browning in batches ensures a good sear and prevents steaming.

Pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Ca. 3 min.
