How to Make Beef Stew With Fennel Orange Gremolata

  1. Heat a large Dutch oven coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Cook for 6 minutes, browning on all sides. Remove from the Dutch oven and set aside.
  4. Add 2 cups chopped fennel bulb, 1 cup chopped bell pepper, 1 cup chopped onion, and 4 cloves minced garlic to the Dutch oven.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  6. Add the browned beef, 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup beef broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the Dutch oven.
  7. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  8. Add 1 cup chopped parsnip.
  9. Cover and simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the beef is fork-tender, stirring occasionally.
  10. While the stew simmers, prepare the gremolata: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup finely chopped fennel bulb, 1/4 cup chopped fennel fronds, and the zest of 1 orange.
  11. Ladle 1 1/3 cups of stew into each of 6 bowls.
  12. Top each serving with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the fennel orange gremolata.
