Classic Beef Stew
Hearty Slow-Cooked Beef Stew
Ingredients:
2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups beef broth
1 cup red wine
2 large onions, chopped
4 carrots, sliced
4 potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup peas (optional)
1 tablespoon flour (optional, for thickening)
Directions:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the beef cubes in batches, browning on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the onions until translucent.
Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for about 2 minutes.
Add the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Return the beef to the pot, then add beef broth, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
Add the carrots and potatoes, then simmer for another 45 minutes until vegetables are tender.
If using peas, add them during the last 10 minutes of cooking. For a thicker stew, mix the flour with a little water to form a slurry and stir it into the stew.
Remove bay leaves before serving.
