• salt & pepper, to taste
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 leeks, chopped and well rinsed (use the white part and an inch or two of the green)
• 6 carrots, peeled and cut into 1 1/2 inch julienne
• 2 turnips, peeled and cut into pieces
• 2 teaspoons of sugar
• 2 1/2 cups of homemade beef stock
• 2 1/2 cups of red wine (preferable Burgundy, but drinkable)
• 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 2 tablespoons of red currant jelly
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 cups of pearl onions, red or white

• 8 -10 red new potatoes, quartered
• 6 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Prep Work

Lot's of prep work so get busy and do it before you even think of starting this recipe. The more you prep before starting the actual cooking, the easier everything else goes. Nothing is worse than starting a recipe and having to stop everything to peel and chop an onion. Start by cutting the beef chuch into 1-inch cubes. Next chop the onions.
The leeks must be well rinced before using so you can wash them first and then chop or chop and wash. Makes no difference except you want to be sure to get rid of all and any of the sand that is common with leeks. When chopping, use all of the white part and about an inch or two of the green.
Peel the carrots and cut them into 1 1/2 inch julienne. Peel the turnips and cut into pieces. Have your beef stock and wine ready to go. Finely chop the fresh rosemary and parsley.
The pearl onions will need to be peeled. It's a pain in the but job but someone has to do it. Prepare the pearl onions by boiling them for 5 minutes, rinse, drain, and peel. Reserve them with the rest of the vegetables.
Slice your mushrooms, quarter the potatoes and finish by mincing the garlic.
