To start your Stracotto al Chianti:
In a pot, heat up the extra virgin olive oil. Once oil is hot, add the beef, onions and garlic. Sear for about 2 minutes. Stir frequently.
Add all the wine. It should be enough to cover the beef. Season with salt and whole peppercorns.
Bring the wine to a boil. Lower the heat and allow it to simmer for approximately 2 hours.
