Instructions
A classic beef stew recipe typically includes ingredients such as beef chuck, carrots, potatoes, onion, and a variety of seasonings. The beef is first seared in a pot to brown it, and then vegetables and seasonings are added and the stew is simmered until the beef and vegetables are tender. Here is a simple recipe you can try:
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides.
- Add the onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the beef broth, red wine, carrots, potatoes, and tomato paste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.
- Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.
This recipe can be adapted to your personal preferences and tastes. For example, you can add more vegetables, such as peas or corn, or experiment with different seasonings. You can also use a slow cooker instead of a pot to prepare the stew, which will require longer cooking time but will result in a more tender and flavorful dish.
