Beef Stew

My dad's beef stew that I have evolved over several iterations. This is so bomb. Just take your time and go low and slow

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Coat beef in flour salt and pepper.

Step 2

Add generous amount of olive oil to pot over medium heat

Step 3

Add beef and sear for 20 minutes. Stirring frequently. The goal is to create a very thick rue. Take your time and make sure all side of beef are seared. You are not trying to brown. We are creating a thick rue.

Step 4

Chop onions and garlic and add to thick beef rue mixture. Sautee for 3-5 minutes or until fragrant

Step 5

Add Guinness, wine, stock, bay leave and thyme. Work to scrape up the a bit of the fan from the bottom of pot. Bring to simmer and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2 hours

Step 6

After 2 hours, chop celery and carrots and add. Simmer for 1.5 hours

Step 7

Chop potatoes and add. Simmer for 1 hour

Step 8

Add frozen vegetables and simmer for 30 minutes. If you want a thicker consistency, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with water and add and summer for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Serve with bread and butter and enjoy! I like to make a big portion and freeze the leftovers!
