EASY BEEF STEW BAKED IN A CAST IRON DUTCH OVEN



Easy Beef Stew Baked in a Cast Iron Dutch Oven image

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.

Time 4h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs boneless lean beef, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon crumbled rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
black pepper, As much as you like
1 (28 ounce) canned tomatoes, with liquid
8 large carrots, peeled and cut into thick slices
4 medium potatoes, scrubbed and cut in chunks
1 large onion, cut in chunks
1 bay leaf
1 small rutabagas or 1 small turnip, cut in chunks
fresh green beans, cut in pieces

Steps:

  • Trim any fat from meat cubes; set aside. Mix flour and seasonings together in a bag, put the meat in the bag too and shake to coat meat with the flour mixture. Place coated meat and all remaining ingredients in a 3-4 quart casserole or dutch oven and mix.
  • (TRUST ME - there will be enough liquid - do NOT add more than the canned tomatoes!).
  • Cover and bake at 275 degrees for 4 hours or until meat is very tender. This recipe makes four very LARGE servings (or smaller with leftovers) and is a great company recipe especially for those who can't cook or are pressed for time. Turn on or pre-set your oven to come on at 2:00 and you will be serving at 6:00. Serve with crusty bread or rolls, a green salad and a good bottle of wine. So easy and so delicious! Bon appetite!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, or 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: This step helps to develop flavor and color. You can brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, or you can sear it in a hot oven.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and texture to your stew. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms.
  • Use a flavorful liquid: Beef broth, red wine, or beer are all good options. You can also use a combination of liquids.
  • Season the stew well: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
  • Cook the stew slowly: This allows the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender. You can cook the stew in a Dutch oven in the oven or on the stovetop over low heat.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

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. With a little planning, you can make a delicious beef stew that your family and friends will love.
