- Pour the wine, thyme, parsely, and bayleaf and simmer for another minute.
- Gently add the beef back into the pan and braise for 2 to 3 hours in a 350F oven or until the beef is tender.
- After 2 hours, place the onions and mushroom in and continue braising for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
- In a medium pot, place the sliced potatoes in cold water and let it boil and cook until tender. Add cream, mozarella cheese, and cheddar cheese. Simmer until thick and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the potato cheese sauce on top of the braised beef and top with chopped parsley.
