Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef stew meat (or shredded beef)
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 cups carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
Season the stew meat generously with salt, pepper, and paprika. Work in batches if necessary and sear the meat until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add the diced onion to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the carrots and baby potatoes, letting them cook for 3 minutes.
Return the browned beef to the pot.
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add thyme sprigs. Bring everything to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Check the tenderness of the meat and vegetables. If they are not yet tender, cook for an additional 15-30 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with water to create a slurry. Stir this into the stew to thicken it.
Simmer for another 5 minutes until the stew achieves the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove thyme sprigs before serving.
