How to Make A Winter S Night Beef Stew By Audrey M

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown 2 lbs beef stew cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Set aside.
  2. Place 2 large carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 large onion (chopped), and 4 cloves garlic (minced) in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups beef broth, 1 cup red wine, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Add the browned beef cubes to the slow cooker on top of the vegetables. Pour the broth mixture over the beef and vegetables.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
  6. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
