How to Make Michelle's Oven Beef Stew

  1. Season 2 lbs beef stew cubes generously with salt, pepper, and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour. Brown the beef in batches in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned on all sides.
  2. Transfer the browned beef to a 6-quart casserole dish.
  3. Add 1 large onion, chopped; 2 carrots, chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp tomato paste; 1 tsp dried thyme; 1 tsp dried rosemary; 1 bay leaf; 4 cups beef broth; 1 cup red wine (optional); 2 cups peeled and diced potatoes; 1 cup frozen peas (optional). Stir well to combine.
  4. Cover the casserole dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
  5. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 4 1/2 to 5 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  6. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Enjoy!
