Servings 8 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head of garlic (about 12 cloves), halved crosswise
  • 5 thyme sprigs, leaves picked, plus 1 extra sprig
  • 1.8kg beef sirloin
  • 3–4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 150g plain flour
  • 500ml red wine
  • 1.5 litres hot beef stock

Instructions
 

Marinate for More Flavors

  • Rubbing the cut sides of the garlic and the fresh thyme leaves all over the beef sirloin. Dump the beef into a big dish, drizzle with olive oil and rub it deep into every crevice of the meat.
  • (Skimp on this step if you have to, but let cover and refrigerate for 1–2 days if you can afford the time—it concentrates the meaty richness and elevates every single bite.)
  • If you’d prefer to forgo the marinade, move directly to the next step.

Bring to Room Temperature

  • Take the beef out of the fridge about an hour before you are going to cook it. Letting it sit at room temperature guarantees more even cooking and juicier final results.
