Procedure:
Season cubed beef with salt and pepper, and dust with all-purpose flour, coating beef. In a hot Rondeau pot, add oil and then beef. Sear beef on all sides, stirring frequently. Continuing high heat, add red wine and wait until alcohol burns off. Add beef stock, soda, carrots, celery, pearl onions, garlic, bay leaves, fresh
ground pepper, rosemary, and thyme. When all ingredients return to a boil, lower heat to medium and slow cook for 2-3 hours until meat is fork tender. Last, add the quartered potatoes. Cook potatoes in stew, which has now reduced down to a savory broth, for 15 minutes until tender but not disintegrating. The potatoes
will help thicken the stew as well.
