    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the beef, pork, and lamb into large cubes. In a large bowl, combine the meats with the white wine, thyme, bay leaves, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.

    2

    Peel the potatoes, carrots, and onions, then slice them thinly. Slice the leek into rings.

    3

    In a large Dutch oven or casserole dish, arrange a layer of potatoes on the bottom, followed by a layer of the marinated meats. Then, layer the carrots, onions, and leek. Continue layering until all the ingredients are used.

    4

    Pour the remaining marinade into the casserole dish, ensuring the ingredients are well-soaked. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil or a lid.

    5

    Bake in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.

    6

    Before serving, let the stew rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with fresh bread or a salad.
