1. Preheat the oven to 275°F.

3. De glaze pan with 1 cup of broth then pour all back into broth container.

4. Melt the butter over medium-high heat; add the onions and cook, stirring until lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Return the beef to the pot and add the broth and wine, and bring to a simmer.
