In your stockpot over medium-high heat add in 2 tbsp of olive oil, and then add in your diced stew meat.
Next, add in the diced onion, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped fresh rosemary. Sauté 10-15 minutes or until meat is browned.
Next, add in just a 1/2 cup of the red wine and turn the stove heat down to medium-low.
While this is simmering chop up and add in the celery, carrots and potatoes.
Once all the veggies are in, add the 6 cups of water and 6 tsp of beef bouillon, and the final 1/2 cup of red wine, stirring to mix everything together.
Lastly, add in a 1/2 cup of dried farro. If you can't find farro, you can substitute dried instant barley.
Turn your heat down to low, cover the stew and cook for 1-2 hours or until the vegetables are soft. Make sure to check on it and stir every so often so nothing burns to the bottom of the pot.
Serve with a crusty piece of bread and enjoy!
Notes
If you would prefer a thicker stew, feel free to toss your stew meat with 1-2 tbsp of flour before adding it to the pot to sauté
