12 large garlic cloves, unpeeled

2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 large parsnips, peeled, chopped

1 14 1/2-ounce can beef broth
1 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon dried thyme, crumbled
2 teaspoons dried rubbed sage

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss garlic with 1 tablespoon melted butter on small baking sheet. Bake until garlic is tender and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Cool garlic 5 minutes. Peel and set aside.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in large pot over high heat. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper; dust with 1 tablespoon flour. Add beef to pot. Sauté until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.

Tips for Making Garlic Lovers' Beef Stew:

  • Use a Dutch oven or large pot with a heavy bottom to evenly distribute and maintain heat.
  • Generously season the beef cubes with salt and pepper before browning to enhance their flavor.
  • Brown the beef cubes in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure they get a good sear.
  • Sauté the vegetables until they are softened and slightly caramelized to bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Use a good quality red wine for the stew, as it will add depth and richness to the flavor.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
