I like using burgundy or cabernet sauvignon but the basic rule is that as long as you'd be happy stir the potatoes into the stew, cover the pot completely, and cook until the potatoes and beef are tender, stirring occasionally, about another 45 minutes.

¼ cup vegetable oil
5 onions, sliced
2 pounds lean beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup dry red wine
½ cup beef broth
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
Directions
Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Cook and stir beef in the same skillet until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Sprinkle flour, marjoram, thyme, and pepper over beef. Pour red wine and beef broth into the skillet; stir well. Reduce heat to low and simmer until beef is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Stir onions into the skillet. Add mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms are tender and sauce is thick and dark brown, about 30 minutes.
Substitute olive oil for the vegetable oil if desired.
Add beef broth and wine (1 part broth to 2 parts wine) as needed in step 2 to keep beef barely covered.
