EASY BEEF STEW BAKED IN A CAST IRON DUTCH OVEN
This is in the oven right now and it smells so good, we can hardly wait for it to be done! No browning necessary. Company coming? Toss in another potato and carrot - this recipe is forgiving! Serve with Recipe #348286, hot and buttered. My youngest brother would find out I was making this stew and biscuits and he would invite himself over and eat me out of house and home. His favorite way to eat this stew was on top of buttered biscuits. I think with a salad and dessert this would serve about 6 but around here I would say it serves 4. ***UPDATE*** This recipe is for a cast iron dutch oven with a heavy tight-fitting lid. I've made this a million times and have had left-over gravy for noodles, rice, etc. Make sure you don't bake at any higher temperature than 300* and you don't use corningware or any other casserole. The heavy cast iron Dutch oven with a lid will prevent almost all of the evaporation of liquid, kind of like a slow cooker.

- You can thicken the gravy with 1/4 cup of flour mixed into 1/2 cup of water - stir and cook until on top of the stove until it is thick enough for you. We like it just the way it comes out of the oven.

DUTCH OVEN BEEF STEW
Stick-to-your-ribs beef stew. The only time I've achieved fork-tender (not chewy) beef in my stew with soft (not crunchy!) potatoes. Dutch oven not totally necessary (doesn't go into oven) but the cast iron seems to do something special, even when it's enamel-coated. Adapted from Beef Stew V recipe on allrecipes.

Steps:
- Some notes about the ingredients: I like the tomatoes with seasoning, choose your favorite. Cheap red wine works just fine. Baby carrots work, too - just guesstimate how many would add up to 6 big ones.
- The trick with peeling pearl onions: cut off the stem ends, throw in boiling water for 1.5 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water (or even dunk in ice water). You should be able to squeeze the onion and pop them right out of the peel.
- Real instructions start now:.
- Throw the flour, salt and pepper into a bowl or bag with the beef cubes and coat completely.
- In the dutch oven (or heavy pot) combine the butter and oil, and saute the beef and onions over medium-high heat until beef is browned on outside.
- Stir in the tomatoes, water and bouillon cubes. Add parsley and thyme. Stir in the red wine.
- Cover soup and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add bay leaves, carrots and potatoes. Continue to simmer until potatoes are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for beef stew. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the beef before stewing it: Browning the beef adds flavor and color to the stew. To brown the beef, heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to beef stew. Some good vegetables to use include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Season the stew well: Beef stew should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. Some good spices to use include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: Beef stew needs to simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender. The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be.
- Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes: Beef stew is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. Serve it with crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
Conclusion:
Beef stew is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful beef stew that your family and friends will love.
