Recipe Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds stewing beef trimmed and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • ½ cup red wine optional
  • 1 pound potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4 carrots cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 4 ribs celery cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 1 sprig fresh
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons water or as needed
  • ¾ cup peas

How To Make Beef Stew​?

  1. Toss the beef in seasoning and flour mixture: In a bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat the beef cubes thoroughly in this mixture.
  2. Brown the beef and onions: Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and onions, cooking until the beef is browned on all sides and the onions are softened.
  3. Deglaze the pot with liquid: Pour in the beef broth and red wine (if using), scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits for added flavor.
  4. Add the vegetables and seasoning: Stir in the potatoes, carrots, celery, tomato paste, and rosemary. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1–1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  5. Thicken the stew with a slurry: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually stir this into the boiling stew, adding a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached (you may not need all the slurry).
  6. Add the peas and finish cooking: Stir in the peas and let the stew simmer for another 5–10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Serve the beef stew hot, alongside crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.

Recipe Tips:

  • Pat the beef dry before coating in flour: This helps the flour stick better and creates a beautiful crust when browning, adding extra flavor to the stew.
  • Brown in batches for best results: Overcrowding the pot can steam the beef instead of browning it. Work in small batches to get a nice caramelized sear.
  • Use room-temperature beef broth: Adding cold broth can slow the cooking process and lower the stew’s temperature. Warm or room-temperature broth keeps the cooking consistent.
  • Simmer gently for tender beef: Cook on low heat for at least an hour, allowing the beef to break down and become melt-in-your-mouth tender. High heat can make it tough.
  • Add cornstarch slurry gradually: Thicken the stew a little at a time. Stir constantly as you pour to avoid lumps and ensure the perfect consistency.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: First, let the leftover beef stew cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze: Allow the beef stew to cool completely before placing it in a freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, transfer the stew to the fridge overnight
  • Reheat:  Place the beef stew in a microwave-safe container, cover loosely, and heat on medium power in 2-minute intervals, stirring in between, until hot.
