Step-by-Step Directions:

Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until hot. Add carrots, celery, onion, and two tablespoons of butter. Sauté the vegetables until almost tender, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic; stir and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer vegetables to a plate; set aside.

Step 2: Add bite-sized steak pieces to the pot and cook, stirring often, until the meat is brown. Transfer the browned meat to the same plate as the vegetables and discard any rendered fat. Wipe out the pot with a paper towel.

Step 3: In the same pot, melt the rest of the butter and whisk in 1 cup of flour until smooth to make a roux. Cook over medium heat until the flour mixture is darker and thicker. Whisk in the beef broth, water, and wine, stirring until smooth. *Don’t worry if your roux turns out a little purple! It’s perfectly normal and nothing to be concerned about.

Tips:

If you’re not into wine, just swap the red wine out for a little extra beef broth. It’ll work just fine!
Feel free to skip the Montreal Steak seasoning or switch it up with some Herbs de Provence instead!
