New England Beef Stew
Servings – 6 Prep Time – 15 Minutes Cook Time – 2 Hours 30 Minutes
Ingredients:
2 lbs beef chuck roast cut into 2-inch chunks, excess fat removed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely black pepper
2 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion chopped, large
4 garlic cloves minced
2 Large carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 yukon gold potatoes diced into 2-inch pieces
2 cups beef broth
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 Tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaves
2 teaspoon thyme or parsley leaves to garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°.
Season the beef chunks on all sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over and toss the seasoned beef to coat it on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the beef in batches, on all sides, for 3-4 minutes per batch. Don’t worry about cooking the beef all the way through at this stage. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.
Add the onions, garlic, and carrots to the Dutch oven, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly browned.
Add the potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaf, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce, and use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring, and return the beef to the pot. Cover the Dutch oven, and transfer to the preheated oven.
Cook the stew for 2-2.5 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
Remove the bay leaf. Taste the stew and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve warm with crusty Italian/French bread.
Notes:
You may add an additional 1-2 cups of water or more broth if you like to have more broth on your stew.
You can also add in 1 cup of frozen peas if desired.
