Instructions
Prepare the Beef

Sear the Beef
- Heat your Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the beef chunks until browned on all sides.

- Tuck the bay leaves into the mix.
Cook
- Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to a preheated oven at 300°F.
- Let it cook for about 4 hours or until the beef is tender and falls apart easily.

- You can remove the bay leaves before serving, as their job is done by then.
