Easy Homemade Beef Stew

Ingredients
- ▢2 lbs Beef Chuck Roast cut into 2-inch chunks, excess fat removed
- ▢1 Tsp Kosher Salt
- ▢½ Tsp Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
- ▢2 Tbsp Gluten-free All-Purpose Flour or Whole Wheat for non-gluten
- ▢2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- ▢½ Yellow Onion Chopped Large
- ▢4 Garlic Cloves minced
- ▢1 Large Carrot or two small-medium, cut into 2-inch chunks
- ▢2 Yukon Gold Potatoes diced into 2-inch pieces
- ▢2 Cups Beef Broth
- ▢¼ Cup Tomato Paste
- ▢1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- ▢1 Bay Leaves
- ▢2 Tsp Fresh Thyme Leaves to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° F.
- 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.
