- Scatter the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and potatoes around the beef.
- Whisk the flour into the broth until smooth, then whisk in the wine, rosemary, and thyme. Pour over the beef and vegetables.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours until the beef is fall-apart tender and the vegetables are soft.
- Lift out the beef and shred or slice it thickly. Return it to the cooking liquid to keep warm.
- Serve the beef and vegetables spooned over with the braising liquid as gravy, seasoning to taste.
