True Blue Beef Stew Recipe image

This is simply my version of an old standard. It stands on its own with a thick gravy, but also is good over noodles, with biscuits or dumplings, or with just a hunk of good bread. It's the ultimate winter comfort. If you like this recipe, see others at my website: http://mybestcookbook.wordpress.com

3 Tbsp canola oil
1 1/2 lb beef stew meat ( cut in 1/2 inch cubes)
1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt and pepper, each

  • 1. Heat 3 tables of canola oil in a large stew pot. Dry the meat well with paper toweling. Then toss in the salt/pepper flour until nicely coated. Place in a single layer not crowding in the hot oil and brown on all side, moving them around, and then piling them up to make room for more, until all are done.
  • 2. Add the carrots, celery and onion. Add the thyme, garlic and tomato paste. Add stock to cover,cover with a lid and reduce to low and simmer for three hours.
  • 3. About an hour before ready to eat, add another onion, diced large, and the potatoes.Add more stock if you need to to cover. Make a roux by melting the butter in a small saute pan and adding flour, whisking until encorporated. Cook for about 3 minutes. Turn off heat and set aside until about 10 minutes before eating. Add to the stew and heat to a boil. Add it in parts, waiting for the thickening and stop when you have it to the consistency you wish.
  • 4. Add frozen peas, and turn off. Stir in, and serve.

I'm not a big fan of beef stew, but this recipe changed my mind. The meat was so tender and the sauce was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I had some steak that I cooked the night before, and it worked perfectly in this stew.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is the cooking time. I found that I needed to simmer the stew for an extra 30 minutes to get the meat to the desired tenderness.

This beef stew recipe was a hit with my family! The meat was fall-apart tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and everyone went back for seconds.
