Beef Stew 2.0 Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Dry meat thoroughly with paper towels. Dissolve beef bouillon in boiling water; set aside. Heat 1 T. oil in a large Dutch oven (mine is 4-1/2 quart and it works fine) over medium heat until shimmering. Add half of the meat so that the pieces are close together but not touching. Cook, not moving the pieces, until the sides touching the pot are well browned, 2-3 mins. Turn the meat and cook until most sides are well browned, about another 5 mins. Transfer to a medium bowl or plate. Add another 1 T. oil to Dutch oven and brown remaining meat. Transfer to bowl or plate with already browned cubes and set meat aside. Add remaining 1 T. oil to Dutch oven and sauté onions, stirring often to scrape up browned bits from meat, and cook until clear and softened, but not brown. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds. Stirring constantly, gradually stir in 1 C. beef bouillon, scraping pan edges and bottom. Stir in tomato paste to combine. Add parsley, rosemary, and pepper and bring to a simmer. Add meat and any juices that accumulated while the meat was resting and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and green beans. Cover and cook 30 mins. or until vegetables are done and meat is tender. If the gravy isn’t thick enough for your taste, whisk 1 T. or so cornstarch into reserved 1/2 C. cooled broth and stir into mixture (water can also be used, but broth will give the stew more flavor). Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until gravy is thickened and of desired consistency.
  • Note: Cut up a well trimmed boneless beef chuck roast to get the most tender stew meat. The prepackaged stew meat at the grocery store is made up of whatever the butcher has left at the end of the day, so you never know exactly what's in there. That's why the meat can be tender one time and not the next - different cuts! I buy a generous handful or so of fresh green beans to cut up and don't measure out a specific amount.
