  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into cubes
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup water (optional, for thinner stew)
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening)

Instructions:

  1. Brown the Meat:
    • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
    • Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables:
    • In the same pot, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the onions, carrots, and garlic until the onions are translucent.
  3. Cook the Stew:
    • Return the beef to the pot. Sprinkle the flour over the meat and vegetables and stir until the flour is absorbed.
    • Add the potatoes, beef broth, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
    • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1-1.5 hours, or until the meat and potatoes are tender.
  4. Final Adjustments:
    • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the stew is too thick, add up to 1 cup of water to reach your desired consistency.
    • Remove the bay leaf before serving.
  5. Serve:
    • Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot, perhaps with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
