A rich, hearty, and deeply satisfying beef stew made with tender chuck roast, classic vegetables, and a broth full of robust flavor. Perfect for chilly nights or cozy weekends.

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cups beef broth

2 cups carrots, sliced

2 cups potatoes, diced

1 cup onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

2 bay leaves

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper, to taste

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 5–7 minutes.

2. Remove the beef and set aside. In the same pot, sauté the onions and garlic for about 3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

3. Stir in tomato paste and cook for another minute to deepen the flavor.

4. Return the browned beef to the pot. Add beef broth, carrots, potatoes, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

5. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

6. Check for tenderness. If desired, mix flour with a bit of broth, then stir it in to thicken the stew. Simmer uncovered for 15–20 more minutes.

7. Remove bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Use beef chuck for best results its fat content makes the stew rich and flavorful.

For gluten-free thickening, substitute potato starch or arrowroot flour.

Leftovers taste even better the next day!
