  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

A hearty, protein-packed beef stew recipe that’s tender, flavorful, and guaranteed to become your family’s favorite comfort food tradition.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Beef Chuck Roast
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Gluten-free All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½ Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1 Large Carrot, cut into chunks
  • 2 Yukon Gold Potatoes, diced
  • 2 Cups Beef Broth
  • ¼ Cup Tomato Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • Fresh Thyme Leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Pat beef dry, season with salt and pepper, and coat lightly with flour.
  2. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven. Brown beef on all sides, 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté onion, garlic, and carrot in the same pot until lightly caramelized, 5–7 minutes.
  4. Add potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and thyme. Nestle beef back in, liquid covering ¾ of meat. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Cover and transfer to oven. Cook 2–2.5 hours until beef is fork-tender and vegetables are cooked through.

Notes

For extra depth, substitute short ribs for chuck roast, or add parsnips, celery, or mushrooms. Store leftovers up to 4 days refrigerated or 3 months frozen.
