Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cubed
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
- 3 large carrots, sliced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (for biscuits)
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuits)
Instructions
In a large bowl, toss the beef cubes with 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper until evenly coated.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches, ensuring pieces are browned on all sides. Set the browned beef aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the paste to caramelize slightly.
Pour in 4 cups of beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
Add the seared beef back to the pot along with the cubed potatoes, sliced carrots, sliced celery, fresh thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 90 minutes, stir in 1 cup of frozen peas. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, and let simmer uncovered for an additional 15 minutes while preparing the biscuits.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter (cubed and chilled), 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 3/4 cup of buttermilk to the mixture, stirring gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out rounds.
Place the biscuit rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
Serve the hearty beef stew hot with freshly baked biscuits on the side.
