Ingredients for Baked Beef Stew With Carrots

  • Beef Stew Meat
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • Dry Thyme Leaves
  • Dried Rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Baked Beef Stew With Carrots

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a shallow 3-4 quart casserole dish, combine 1.5 lbs beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes) and 1 large onion (chopped).
  3. Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef and onions are nicely browned.
  4. Remove from oven and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Gently stir to coat the beef and onions.
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).
  6. In a 1.5-quart saucepan, combine 2 cups beef broth, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  8. Pour the boiling liquid over the beef and onions in the casserole dish, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  9. Distribute 1 lb carrots (peeled and sliced) evenly over the beef mixture.
  10. Cover the casserole dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
  11. Bake for 130-150 minutes, or until the beef is incredibly tender when pierced with a fork.
  12. Season generously with salt to taste before serving.
