Beef Stew

Let’s talk about the wonders of slow-cooking, crock-potting. It starts out as a messy concoction of sauteed ingredients and ends in a marvelous meal on the table. I love that this requires minimal effort. A crock pot makes life so much easier! Imagine all the things you could accomplish in your day while the stew quietly simmers (in my case in the oven): nap through it, get a latte, dance around.

I use nothing fancy in this stew. Just some good quality beef for stew (I used Chuck), some root vegetables and that’s it.

I don’t have a dutch oven, so I used my cast iron skillet. Half-way through, you want to give the stew a quick mix to incorporate all those lovely flavors sitting at the bottom of the pan.

Accompany the stew with some crusty bread and you’re golden!

Author: Rookie With A Cookie

Ingredients

  • 1 lb stew beef I used Chuck cut
  • 4 medium carrots peeled and sliced
  • 1 large russet potatoes or 2 medium sized ones peeled and chopped in big chunks
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3.4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Rosemary a few sprigs
  • Lemon zest and more rosemary to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat you oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a cast iron skillet or a dutch oven, sautee onions for a few minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, toss the beef in a tbsp of flour (this will help thicken up the stew slightly as it cooks).
  • Now add the beef to the skillet and fry until brown.
  • Add in the vegetables along with the diced tomatoes and beef broth to the skillet (the beef should be 3/4 submerged in the broth).
  • Next, add the rosemary.
  • Give the skillet a good stir and let come to a boil before putting it in the oven.
  • Let the stew cook for 3-4 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.
  • Garnish with a sprinkling of lemon zest and freshly chopped rosemary.
