How to Make Baked Beef Stew

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

  6. Bring to a simmer on the stovetop.
  7. Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven.
  8. Bake for 270 minutes, or until the beef is fork-tender.
  9. Remove from oven and discard the bay leaf.
  10. Serve hot with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.

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.
