A hearty and comforting One Pot Beef Stew Recipe, perfect for a chilly evening. This recipe is easy to follow and requires minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and thickly sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, thickly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 lb small potatoes, quartered (or larger potatoes, peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup frozen peas (added at the end)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Pat beef stew meat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Brown beef in batches until browned on all sides, then remove from pot and set aside.
  3. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes, scraping up any browned bits.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. If using flour to thicken, sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir for 1 minute.
  6. Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes (undrained), tomato paste, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf. Return beef to the pot.
  7. Add potatoes to the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until beef is very tender and potatoes are cooked through.
  8. Stir in frozen peas during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
  9. Remove bay leaf. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mix 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup of cold water to create a slurry, then stir it into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the tenderness of the beef.
