• Saute this mixture in 1/4 cup of veggie broth until the veggies are nice and soft.

• Add the mushrooms and cook on medium high until they lose their liquid.
• Season with the rosemary and italian seasoning.
• Add the wine and deglaze any brown spots in your pan. (This is the good stuff!)
• After a few minutes add the rest of the broth, the tomatoes and tomato sauce.

• Remove the beef from the pot and add the vinegar and wine. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the beef, beef broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer.
• Cover and cook, skimming broth from time to time, until the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the onions and carrots and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more. Add broth or water if the stew is dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle among 4 bowls and serve.
