Ingredients

STEP 1

COOKING LA DAUBE PROVENÇALE: Set a pasta strainer inside a big bowl. Transfer the contents of your dutch oven into the strainer - making sure to keep all the juice in the bowl! You will use this later.

STEP 2

Remove the chunks of marinated beef from the strainer and pat dry with paper towels. You must dry the meat! If you skip this step it will not sear.

STEP 3

Lay the dried pieces of meat flat on a cutting board and lightly dust with flour. Make sure to keep the carrots and celery from the marinade as well. Do however, discard the star anise.

STEP 4

Wipe down your dutch oven and put it back on the burner at medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. In small batches, sear the meat so that there is a light crust on each piece.
