Heat canola oil in a dutch oven or equivalent sized pot to high heat.
Season beef with salt and pepper to taste. Making sure the dutch oven or pot is piping hot, brown beef in olive oil in small batches. The idea is to sear it, so give it a few tosses or stirs and pull it out just as it gets that dark brown look. It will not be fully cooked, but will finish cooking during the simmer process later.
Add onions to dutch oven (add a little more olive oil if needed) until slightly browned.
Deglaze dutch oven with red wine.
Add the rest of the browned beef, garlic powder, Worcestershire, 1 ½ cups broth to dutch oven.
Bring to a boil, reduce and cover.
Allow to simmer for about 25 min.
Combine ½ cup broth with cornstarch. Stir into beef mixture.
