Description
A hearty and flavorful beef stew made with tender beef chuck and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dairy-free butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup gluten-free dark stout
- 4–5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 carrot, sliced
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season beef lightly with salt and pepper and brown in batches. Transfer to a heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven. Make sure not to skip the browning as it creates a deep, complex flavor through the Maillard reaction, making for a great stew.
- Add the butter to the pan, then sauté onion and celery over low heat for 5–6 minutes, stirring. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in beef broth, bring to a simmer, stirring well and scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Transfer the mixture to the pot with the beef. Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, gluten-free black stout, and thyme. Cover and simmer for 40–60 minutes, until beef is tender.
- Lightly sauté the carrots over low heat, then set aside.
- Add potatoes and carrots to the stew, season with salt and pepper, and cook on low heat for another 20–30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Turn off the heat and let the stew rest, covered, for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop.
