Beef Stew

The most satisfying beef stew ever!
Author: Whole Shenanigans
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 1 hour 15 minutes
Total: 1 hour 35 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp oil for the pot
  • 1 lb beef stew meat, such as a chuck roast or round roast, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 carrots, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup water (plus more to deglaze the pot as needed)
  • 4 cups bone broth (I use a homemade mildly salty broth)
  • 4 medium potatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup green peas

Instructions

  • Pat the beef dry to remove moisture before searing. Add salt. 
  • Heat oil in a large pot until it glistens, and brown the beef on medium-high heat. Don’t overcrowd the pot; brown the beef in batches for a good sear.
  • Remove all beef and deglaze the pan with water, scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pot.
  • Add rosemary, thyme, onions, garlic, and carrots, and sauté until the onion is softened.
  • Return the beef to the pot.
  • Make a slurry by mixing the whole wheat flour and water together in a small bowl.
  • Add the slurry and butter to the pot and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Pour in the bone broth, potatoes, and green peas.
  • Cover and simmer for 60 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Uncover and simmer for 15 more minutes to allow the stew to thicken.

Notes

-You can salt the beef in advance and leave it overnight to help flavor and tenderize it.
-Use less salt if your bone broth is highly salty (mine is not).
