2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

3/4 tsp kosher salt

2 tsp salt

2 tsp canola oil

2 tbs tomato paste

12 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed

1 1/2 cups dry red wine (It’s not an accident this leaves just enough for a glass while your cooking)

2 cups beef stock, you could increase this by 1 1/2 cups and eliminate the wine but trust me the wine make all the difference in the world when it comes to the flavor.

4 carrots, cut in two inch pieces
