Simple beef stew recipe

 

Ingredients:

  • Two pounds (about one kilogram) of stewing beef, sliced into small pieces
  • two tsp of vegetable oil
  • One large onion, finely sliced

  • two minced garlic cloves
  • Three carrots, cut and peeled
  • Three potatoes, chopped and peeled
  • two celery stalks, cut
  • Four cups beef broth and one cup of optional red wine
  • Two tsp tomato paste
  • A single tsp of dried thyme
  • One tsp of dehydrated rosemary
  • To taste, add salt and black pepper.
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for the beef's coating)
  • fresh parsley that has been chopped (optional

  1. Coat and brown the beef.


Coat the beef chunks with flour, salt, and black pepper in a basin.
In a big pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

In batches, brown the meat until both sides are nicely charred. Take out and place aside.

2. Cooked Veggies:

If more oil is required, add it to the same pot. Add the garlic and onions and sauté until softened.
Add the celery, potatoes, and carrots. Cook the vegetables for a few minutes, or until they begin to brown.

3. Clear the Pot:

To deglaze the pot and scrape away any browned bits from the bottom, pour in the red wine (if using).

4. Mix the ingredients together:

Put the browned steak back in the saucepan.
Stir in tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, and beef broth. Mix everything together.

5. Reduce:

After bringing the stew to a boil, turn down the heat. Once the beef is cooked, simmer it covered for one and a half to two hours.

6. Adjust seasoning:


To taste, add more salt and pepper for seasoning.

7. Serve:

Empty the bowls of meat stew. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Enjoy!

Serve the beef stew hot, maybe over mashed potatoes or beside some crusty bread.
