Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beef broth and red wine and bring to a simmer. Return the beef to the pot and cover with a lid. Transfer the pot to the oven and cook for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside to rest. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve and return it to the pot. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
