Beef Stew Recipe
Recipe in which beef, onion, carrots, potatoes and red wine come together in cozy harmony.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ tsp ground pepper
- 1 lb beef stewing meat trimmed and cut into inch cubes
- 4 tsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ½ cup red wine
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 onion chopped
- 4 medium carrots cut into rounds
- 2 potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
Instructions
- Combine the flour and pepper in a bowl, add the beef and toss to coat well.
- Heat 4 teaspoons of the oil in a large pot.
- Add the beef a few pieces at a time; do not overcrowd. Cook, turning the pieces until beef is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch.
- Remove the beef from the pot and add the vinegar and wine.
- Cook over medium-high heat, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the beef, beef broth and tomato paste.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer.
- Cover and cook, skimming broth from time to time, until the beef is tender, about 1½ hours.
- Add the onions and carrots and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more.
- Add broth or water if the stew is dry.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
