Heat the oil in a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle the beef with flour. Brown the meat in the oil until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove meat from pan. Set aside. Add the onion and garlic. Saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the wine. Increase the heat to high and simmer until reduced to ½ cup, about 5 minutes. Return the beef to the pot.

Cover partly and simmer over medium-low heat until the meat is tender, about 1½ to 2 hours. Add the remaining artichoke hearts, carrots and celery root. Continue cooking until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 bowls. Garnish with parsley.

Sounds delicious, but the artichoke (in quantity) disqualifies this dish from being qualified as «Provençal«...
I really liked this dish although it definitely benefits from simmering a long time to get the flavors to meld. This recipe makes way more than four servings..
Tasty, but not an attractive company dish as it has an army green sludge look when finished. The quantities of artichokes (I had to use frozen), olives and rosemary gave me pause, but I did try to follow recipe. One question though: 1/4 cup grated orange rind?! Does this mean orange zest? If so that is 3-4 oranges. Does it mean dried orange peel? Impossible to grate. I used 1 orange = about 1 tablespoon of zest. Life is short, probably won't make this again.
