  3. Increase heat to medium high. Add beef a few pieces at a time, and brown on all sides. Add wine (if using) to pan and cook for 1 minute. Add broth to mixture and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 1 hour. Stir in pearl onions and continue to cook for 1 hour. Add mushroom caps and remove lid.
