Beef Daube Provencal

This dish is perfect on cold winter days, especially after we have been out cutting wood or white-tail hunting. If you are lucky enough to have venison, try it here for melt-in-your-mouth goodness. —Brenda Ryan, Marshall, Missouri

      This is a delicious dish! The meat was tender and it smelled so good as it was cooking. I added a bit more beef broth to make sure the carrots were covered and could cook through. While this is equally good on mashed potatoes and pasta, I put it on some baby boiled potatoes I needed to use up, and it was very tasty.
