Instructions
-
Prepare the Beef
Toss the beef stew meat with flour in a large bowl until evenly coated. -
Sear the Beef
Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. In batches, add beef and brown on all sides. Remove browned beef and set aside. -
Sauté Aromatics
In the same pot, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent. -
Simmer the Stew
Return the beef to the pot. Add beef broth, red wine (if using), bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, until beef is tender and flavors meld. -
Add Vegetables
Stir in carrots, potatoes, and celery. Continue simmering 20-30 minutes until vegetables are tender. -
Finish and Serve
Stir in frozen peas, cook until heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
This stew is the ultimate comfort in a bowl—rich, savory, and packed with tender meat and veggies. Serve with crusty bread for a meal that feels like a warm hug.
