How to Make Beef Stew Pot
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 2 lbs beef chuck roast on all sides over medium-high heat. Remove beef and set aside.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped; 2 carrots, chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; and 4 cloves garlic, minced to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Return the beef to the pot. Add 1 tbsp tomato paste and 1 tsp allspice. Stir to coat.
- Pour in 8 cups beef broth, 1 cup red wine (optional), 1 bay leaf, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 hours, until the beef is very tender.
- Add 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cubed; 1 cup parsnips, peeled and chopped; and 1 cup turnips, peeled and chopped. Continue to simmer for another 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with crusty bread and butter.
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.
