Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Add beef in batches, shaking to coat each piece evenly. (10 minutes)
Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Cook beef, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Transfer beef to a plate. (15 minutes)
Pour red wine into the pot and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Return the beef to the pot, then add tomato soup, water, potatoes, carrots, celery, corn, onion, beef stock concentrate, mushrooms, vegetable soup mix, and dried basil. Bring the mixture to a boil. (10 minutes)
Cover the pot and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. (60 minutes)
Remove the pot from the oven, add beef stock, and stir well. Return to the oven and continue baking until the beef is very tender, about 1 hour more. (60 minutes)
