Beef Stew Recipe

from Spend with Pennies

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds stewing beef (trimmed and cubed)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (more as needed)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • ½ cup red wine (optional)
  • 1 pound potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 4 carrots (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 4 ribs celery (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 sprig fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons water (or as needed)
  • ¾ cup peas

Directions

Preheat oven to: Slow Cooker

Combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss beef in flour mixture.

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Shake off any excess flour from the beef and brown in small batches. Remove and set aside in a bowl.

Add the onions to the pot, adding more oil as needed, and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.

Add beef broth and red wine while scraping up any brown bits in the pan.

Stir in browned beef, potatoes, carrots, celery, tomato paste, and rosemary. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 hour or until beef is tender (up to 90 minutes).

Mix equal parts cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the boiling stew to reach desired consistency (you may not need all of the slurry, if you'd like a thicker stew, you can add extra).

Stir in peas and simmer 5-10 minutes before serving . Season with salt & pepper to taste.
