Beef Stew - Simple and Delicious
This simple and delicious beef stew reminds me of home. It has the flavours of my mom's beef stew with my own special twist.
Equipment
- dutch oven
Ingredients
- 1.5-2 lbs stewing beef
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup flour
- 6 small potatoes
- 1 small rutabaga
- 4 medium carrots
- 2 cans tomato soup
- 6-8 cups bone broth (or beef stock)
- salt and pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tbsp thyme
- 1 tbsp oregano
Instructions
- Over medium heat, add olive oil to your dutch oven and brown your strewing beef. Season with salt and pepper. Chop your vegetables into bite sized pieces while your meat cooks.
- Once browned, add your onions and sautee until translucent.Add your garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add your flour and mix well. Allow the flour to absorb the fats in the pan and cook slightly - approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Add approximately 4 cups of broth and, using wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the dutch oven to deglaze and get all the yummy bits off the bottom. Add your vegetables, the tomato soup, remainder of broth, and your seasonings. Stir to combine.
- Put on the lid and place in a preheated 325 degree oven for 6 hours.
- Enjoy!
