Italian Beef and Potato Stew is a warm, hearty dish featuring tender chunks of beef and potatoes cooked in a flavorful tomato sauce. This comforting Italian recipe is perfect for a satisfying one pot meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (minced)
  • 1/4 cup pancetta (cubed)
  • 12 stems rosemary (fresh)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 pound Boneless beef chuck steak cut into chunks
  • 45 medium potatoes (peeled and cut into large chunks)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 12 dashes pepper or hot pepper flakes
  • 23 cups water or low sodium vegetable broth*

Instructions

  1. Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the minced onion until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the pancetta, rosemary, and garlic, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors combine.
  3. Lightly coat the beef chunks with flour, then add them to the pot and cook on low heat for 5-8 minutes, turning frequently to brown the meat evenly without burning.
  4. Add the potatoes, tomato paste, oregano, pepper or hot pepper flakes, and liquid (either broth or water with a bouillon cube). Cover and let simmer on low heat for about one hour, until the potatoes are tender and the stew has thickened.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed just before serving.
