Time 1h25m

Yield about 3 quarts, 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound button mushrooms, quartered
2 cups roughly chopped yellow onions
2 cups sliced carrots, (1-inch slices cut crosswise on a diagonal)
2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon roughly chopped garlic
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 1/2 cups veal or beef stock, at room temperature
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3 to 4 cups 1-inch dice russet potatoes
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Steamed white rice or buttered egg noodles, for serving
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Set a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the pot and season the beef with the salt, Essence and black pepper, being sure to toss the meat well to evenly cover with the spices. Add 1/3 of the beef to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, 2 or 3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil to the pot along with half of the remaining meat and cook again until browned. Set aside and repeat with the remaining tablespoon of oil and remaining beef. Set aside.
  • Add the butter and mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, carrots and celery and saute until onions are softened and lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add the stock, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, allspice and browned beef and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, partially cover the pot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Add the potatoes to the stew and partially cover the pot with a lid. Continue cooking until the potatoes are very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the lid and discard the thyme and rosemary stems. Add the peas and parsley to the stew, stir well to combine, then remove from the heat. Serve hot, with either steamed white rice or buttered egg noodles.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Tips:

  • Utilize Quality Ingredients: The key to a delicious beef stew lies in the quality of your ingredients. Opt for high-quality cuts of beef, such as chuck roast or short ribs, that contain a good amount of marbling for added flavor and tenderness. Fresh vegetables and flavorful spices will also elevate your stew.
  • Brown the Beef: Before adding the beef to the stew, brown it in a separate pan over medium-high heat. This step caramelizes the beef, developing a rich, deep flavor that enhances the overall taste of the stew.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just a few vegetables. Incorporate a variety of root vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, and parsnips, as well as leafy greens like kale or spinach for added texture and nutrients.
  • Enhance with Herbs and Spices: Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a flavorful and aromatic stew. Common choices include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, garlic, and black pepper. Feel free to adjust the quantities based on your personal taste preferences.
  • Simmer for Tenderness: The key to fall-apart tender beef and vegetables is to simmer the stew for an extended period of time. Allow the stew to simmer for at least 1-2 hours, or even longer, if desired. This low and slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and deepen, resulting in a rich and comforting dish.
  • Thicken the Stew: If you prefer a thicker stew, you can incorporate a cornstarch or flour slurry towards the end of the cooking process. Alternatively, you can mash some of the vegetables to create a natural thickener.
  • Serve with Crusty Bread or Mashed Potatoes: Beef stew is traditionally served with crusty bread or mashed potatoes, which provide a delicious vessel for soaking up the flavorful sauce. You can also offer a side salad to balance the richness of the stew.
