American · Main course · 110 min total

A hearty, comforting stew with tender beef and earthy mushrooms in a rich, savory gravy. Perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine (optional, or more broth)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cubed

Instructions

1. Season beef cubes with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches, about 4 minutes per batch. Set aside.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic, cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they release liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Pour in beef broth and red wine, scraping up browned bits. Stir in tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper.
4. Return beef to pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
5. Add carrots, celery, and potatoes. Continue simmering, covered, until vegetables and beef are tender, about 30 minutes more.
6. Remove bay leaves. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve hot.

Tips

• For a thicker stew, mash some of the potatoes against the pot before serving.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 3 months.
