This also can be made in a crockpot. I add different veggies, cubed squash, and 1/2 can baby peas, just added the peas the last 5 minutes of cooking. This is great on a cold winters day. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place beef cubes into a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Add flour and paprika and toss until evenly coated.
- Heat oil in an oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until dark brown, about 4 minutes per side. Flip or stir gently with a wooden spoon until all edges are dark brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove beef and set aside.
- Add onions to the beef fat with more salt and pepper; cook and stir until they begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and stir until aromatic and soft, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste and cook until it turns brown and begins to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan. Deglaze with red wine, scraping up the flavorful browned bits on the bottom. Let the wine reduce until almost dry again, about 3 minutes.
- Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, herbes de Provence, and bay leaves. Add 2 cups beef broth and Worcestershire, stir, and bring to a boil. Add the seared beef cubes back into the stew liquid. Remove from heat and cover the pot.
- Braise in the preheated oven until meat is almost tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven. Add carrots, potatoes, and more beef broth if needed. Cover and return to the oven to braise until meat and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes longer.
- Discard bay leaves. Stir in peas, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme. Serve hot.

HEARTY BEEF STEW WITH RED ONIONS AND ALE
In this cozy beef stew, tender chunks of meat in a silky, savory, ale-tinged sauce share the pot with wedges of red onion and sweet nuggets of carrot. A little coriander and allspice add fragrance and depth to the mix, while a spoonful of tomato paste deepens and rounds out the flavors. Like all stews, it tastes even better a day or two later, and can be frozen for up to two months. Serve it over something soft and buttery to soak up the sauce: a mound of mashed potatoes, noodles or polenta.

Steps:
- Season the beef all over with salt and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the onions.
- Peel the onions. Cut 2 of them in half root to stem, then thinly slice them crosswise into half-moons. Cut the third onion, root to stem, into 1/2-inch wedges.
- Dust the beef cubes lightly with flour. Heat butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large Dutch oven or other pot over medium-high. Add beef, in batches taking care not to crowd the pan, and sear until it's good and dark all over, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer beef cubes to a bowl as they brown. Add more oil and adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning.
- Stir in sliced onions and raise heat to medium-high if you lowered it. Cook until pale golden brown and soft, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Make a well in the center of the onions, then stir in tomato paste, coriander and allspice; cook, stirring until paste is darkened, 1 minute. Stir in stock, ale, 1 cup water and rosemary sprig. Return beef and any juices to the pot and bring to a simmer. Partly cover the pot and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
- Give the beef a stir, then add onion wedges. Simmer for 15 minutes, then stir in carrots and continue to simmer until the meat, onions and carrots are tender, 30 to 45 minutes longer.
- If the sauce seems thin, use a slotted spoon to transfer meat and vegetables to a platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Discard the rosemary. Return pot with liquid to stove and simmer until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Taste and add more salt and vinegar if you like. Spoon sauce over meat and garnish with chives, flaky sea salt and more black pepper.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Season the meat with salt and pepper, place in a large bowl, and toss with the flour.
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or wide-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Cook the meat, in batches, until well browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes, transferring the pieces to a plate as they are browned. Pour off and discard any drippings from the pot.
- Add the tomato paste, wine, broth, onion, bay leaves, thyme, and 2 of the carrots and bring to a boil. Return the meat and any juices back to the pot (the meat should be barely submerged in liquid), cover, and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 hours.
- Using tongs, remove and discard the cooked vegetables. Add the potatoes and the remaining 8 carrots to the pot, cover, and return to the oven. Cook until the meat and vegetables are fork-tender, about 1 hour more.

Steps:
- Place the meat on paper towels and pat it dry. Sprinkle it generously with salt and pepper and set it aside.
- Place a heavy, large pot (or Dutch oven) over medium-high heat on your stovetop. When it gets hot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and then add the meat. Sauté the meat until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes (depending on the size of your pot and the amount of meat, this step should be done in batches so as to ensure that all the meat gets browned evenly-do not crowd the pot). Remove the meat from the pot and reserve. Reduce the heat to medium; add 2 more tablespoons olive oil to pot. Add the onions and sauté them until they are golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- Return the meat to the pot and mix it into onions. Add 1 cup of wine, the tomatoes with their juices, the hoisin sauce, and the bay leaves. Bring the stew to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer the stew for an hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add the carrots and the remaining 1cup of wine. Cover again and simmer the stew for another 30 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Uncover to pot and continue cooking until the sauce is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes longer.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the cornstarch mixture, and simmer until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Transfer the stew to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good choices 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 helps to develop a rich, dark sauce.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. Carrots, potatoes, celery, and onions are all classic choices, but you can also add other vegetables like green beans, peas, or mushrooms.
- Season the stew well. Salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme are all essential seasonings for beef stew. You can also add other herbs and spices to your taste.
- Cook the stew slowly. Beef stew is a dish that takes time to cook. Allow the stew to simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- 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 a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
