Season beef pieces evenly on all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add beef, reduce the heat to medium-high, and cook undisturbed until it releases easily from the skillet and a golden-brown crust has formed, about 4 minutes. Flip the pieces and continue to cook until browned on all sides. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.

Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add butter to the drippings in the pan. When the butter has melted, add onion, mushrooms, and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often and scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- 5
Stir in wine and scrape the pan to release any remaining bits. Return the meat to the pan, along with any accumulated juices. Add thyme, bay leaves, and Worcestershire.

Pour in beef broth until it comes partway up the beef; do not fully submerge the meat in liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
