Old-Fashioned Beef Stew image

This classic stick-to-your-ribs stew is the ideal project for a chilly weekend. Beef, onion, carrots, potatoes and red wine come together in cozy harmony. If you are feeding a crowd, good news: It doubles (or triples) beautifully.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, one pot, soups and stews, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 pound beef stewing meat, trimmed and cut into inch cubes
5 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cup red wine
3 1/2 cups beef broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
2 bay leaves
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
5 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Combine the flour and pepper in a bowl, add the beef and toss to coat well. Heat 3 teaspoons of the oil in a large pot. Add the beef a few pieces at a time; do not overcrowd. Cook, turning the pieces until beef is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch; add more oil as needed between batches.
  • Remove the beef from the pot and add the vinegar and wine. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the beef, beef broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer.
  • Cover and cook, skimming broth from time to time, until the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the onions and carrots and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more. Add broth or water if the stew is dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle among 4 bowls and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for beef stew.
  • Brown the beef before stewing it. This will help develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic choices, but you can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or mushrooms.
  • Add herbs and spices to your stew. Common choices include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and black pepper. You can also add a bit of red wine or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender. The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread are all good options.

Conclusion:

Beef stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious beef stew that your family and friends will love.
