This Best Ever Beef Stew is a hearty tender beef vegetable stew with gluten free beef stew root vegetables. It makes an easy one pot family favorite perfect for cozy dinners or a classic guinness beef stew slow cooked with potatoes and carrots.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast cut into chunks
  • 4 yellow potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 4 carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Toss the beef chunks in flour mixed with salt and black pepper to coat well.
  2. Warm the olive oil in a large pot and sear the beef pieces in batches until browned all around, then remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the diced onion in the same pot until it becomes clear, add garlic and continue cooking for another minute.
  4. Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes while stirring, then pour a small amount of beef broth to deglaze the pot.
  5. Return the browned beef to the pot along with potatoes, carrots, the remaining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and thyme.
  6. Bring everything to a boil, then cover and lower the heat to simmer gently for 2 to 2 and a half hours.
  7. Take out the bay leaves and taste to add more salt or pepper if needed before serving.

Notes

  • For even deeper flavor, brown the beef in small batches to avoid steaming
  • Stew tastes even better the next day after the flavors meld
  • To freeze, cool completely and store in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months
