Let’s make it.

Pat beef dry and brown in batches in oil in a heavy pot; transfer to a plate.
Soften onion and carrots for five minutes, then stir in flour and tomato paste for one minute.
Add wine slowly, scraping the base; add stock and beef. Cover and simmer very gently for two hours, stirring occasionally.
Add mushrooms and simmer 25–30 minutes until beef is fork-tender; add water if needed. Taste and season before serving.
