Classic Beef Stew Recipe, its so Good and satisfying | Meat and Potatoes Stew | Easy Beef Stew

Hey friends, this classic beef stew is so easy to make at home. Makes a perfect dinner or lunch on any day of the week and especially on these cold winter days. It makes one pot cooking so comforting and calming. For this recipe, I'm using beef chuck steak about three pounds. This is perfectly suited for this kind of cooking. So with long simmering, this will give a very good stew. Then just cut it into bite-size, removing any sinews or anything that doesn't like all this extra fat. We'll cut this beef into fairly large pieces. They tend to shrink because of the long simmering. This will take about two hours. Season this beef salt and pepper while still on the cutting board. And this will be ready to start searing. Perfect. Wash my hands. This will impart very good flavors into the dish. Set aside. Carrots. Potatoes. I'm using Yukon Gold. You can use any potatoes that are available to you. Peel and cut into bite-size pieces. Baby Bella mushrooms. This will add very good savoriness to the dish. With the damp paper towels, just wipe them for any sand. Cut these mushrooms into halves. These stems are young so they are edible. Into this hot pot, add about two tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the beef chuck steak pieces and batch it and start searing until they are browned on all sides. Give the beef a turn once it's brown on one side. Once this batch is all seared, remove into a plate. Continue searing the rest of the beef. Add onion and cook until they are slightly brown, scraping the bottom of the pot. That is deliciousness all at the bottom. Add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds or so. I will degrade the bottom of the pan with about two tablespoons of red wine vinegar. This is a good time you can pull out your bottle of wine and use at this point. Add a tablespoon tomato paste. At this point I'm going to add about two tablespoons of all-purpose flour. You can use cornstarch if you are trying to avoid anything with gluten but this will help to thicken the gravy or the sauce. Just so slightly. We are not looking for a very big gravy like sauce here. We still want it to be nice light with a very nice consistency. Return all the beef into the pot together with all the accumulated juices. Bring the heat all the way up. Stir everything together. Add beef stock. You can use water. A pinch of red pepper flakes. This is optional. About a teaspoon paprika. This is just your lip color. You can skip or use chili powder. Just add some water to cover. Bring this pot to a boil. Simmer for about an hour and a half or so and then we will add the rest of the ingredients that are going with this stew. Now as the beef simmers away into this hot pan add some vegetable oil. Once the oil is very hot add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until they are softened. Add some of our chopped herbs. Some more oil. You can definitely cook these mushrooms with the rest of the vegetables but they keep their texture if you cook them this way. Now this beef has been simmering away for over an hour. Add the fresh herbs rosemary and thyme. Potatoes. Carrots. Celery. Peas. Salt. Black pepper. Now bring this pot back to a boil. Lower the heat. Simmer for about a half an hour or until the potatoes, the carrots and everything in there is all cooked through and the beef finishes cooking. Halfway through we will check for the seasoning. This looks so delicious already. Now the potatoes are all cooked through. Add our sauteed mushrooms. Give the pot a good stir. Sprinkle some callions and cilantro. You can use parsley. It just gives it a nice freshness. Before then just check for the seasoning. That's good to me. Piece of beef. Some of these veggies. Enjoy this stew with some bread or chapati. This I make at home.
