Description
If there’s one thing that defines homemade, traditional cooking, it’s the aroma of a good stew simmering slowly on the stove. This Beef Stew with Potatoes recipe is perfect for those cold days when you crave a warm, flavorful dish made with simple ingredients. Just like my Lenten Stew or Healthy Pumpkin Cake, this recipe seeks the perfect balance between flavor and texture, proving that homemade cooking can be both simple and delicious.
Beef stew is one of those classic comfort dishes that never disappoints. Its combination of fresh ingredients and slow cooking results in tender, juicy meat, while the potatoes soak up all the rich flavors of the stew. This beef stew with potatoes is ideal for making in large quantities to share with family or save for another day, as its flavor only gets better over time.
Instructions
- 1 . Prepare the ingredients: Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Wash and slice the carrots, and cut the potatoes into medium-sized cubes. Choosing fresh ingredients is key to achieving a juicy and flavorful beef stew.Brown the meat: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper and sear it on all sides until browned. This step is essential to lock in the juices and add a deep flavor to the stew. Remove the meat and set it aside.Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add more oil if necessary and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the carrots and cook for a few more minutes. The sautéed vegetables form the flavor base for any homemade stew.Add the tomato and wine: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Then, add the red wine and let it reduce for 10 minutes to evaporate the alcohol. This step adds depth and complexity to the flavor of the beef stew.Simmer: Return the beef to the pot, add the broth, and sprinkle in the thyme. Stir well, cover the pot, and cook on low heat for 1.5 hours or until the beef is tender. Slow cooking is the secret to a tender and flavorful beef stew with potatoes.Add the potatoes: Add the potatoes to the pot and cook for another 25-30 minutes, until they are fully cooked and the stew has thickened. The potatoes add texture and make this dish a complete and nutritious beef stew.Taste and serve: Adjust the salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting dish, perfect for sharing with family.
