A hearty, comforting beef stew with tender beef, potatoes, carrots, celery, and peas simmered in a rich, savory broth.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds stewing beef (trimmed and cubed)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (more as needed)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • ½ cup red wine (optional)
  • 1 pound potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 4 carrots (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 4 ribs celery (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 sprig fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons water (or as needed)
  • ¾ cup peas

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the beef in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from the beef and brown it in small batches. Transfer the browned beef to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Add the onion to the pot, adding more oil if needed, and cook for about 3 minutes or until it begins to soften.
  4. Add the beef broth and optional red wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Stir in the browned beef, potatoes, carrots, celery, tomato paste, and rosemary. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour or until the beef is tender, allowing up to 90 minutes if needed.
  6. Mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Bring the stew to a gentle boil and slowly stir in enough slurry to reach the desired consistency.
  7. Stir in the peas and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

  • The red wine is optional and can be replaced with additional beef broth.
  • You may not need all of the cornstarch slurry; add it gradually until the stew reaches your preferred thickness.
  • For an even thicker stew, prepare additional cornstarch slurry using equal parts cornstarch and water.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on the cut of beef; simmer until the beef is fork-tender.
