Hearty Beef Stew
Hearty Beef Stew is American home cooking, eaten at dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 2 lb beef chuck
- 1.5 lb baby potatoes
- 4 carrots
- 3 celery stalks
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 5 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 thyme sprigs
- 3 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Season the cubed beef with salt and pepper and toss with the flour.
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high and brown the beef in batches, about 8 minutes total, then remove.
- Cook the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic in the drippings for 5 minutes, then stir in the tomato paste.
- Return the beef and add the broth, Worcestershire, bay leaf, and thyme, then bring to a simmer.
- Cover and cook gently until the beef is nearly tender, about 1.5 hours.
- Add the potatoes and simmer uncovered until the meat and potatoes are fork-tender and the stew has thickened, about 40 minutes more.
