Instructions
Prepare the Beef
- Coat the beef cubes in the flour, ensuring each piece is evenly covered.

- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
Adjust Seasoning and Serve

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Beef Stew
- For deeper flavor, sear the beef in batches until well-browned. This step adds complexity to the stew.
- Use a good quality beef broth for a richer flavor. Homemade broth is even better!
- Don't be afraid to experiment with vegetables! Mushrooms, turnips, parsnips, or other root vegetables would be delicious additions.
- If the stew becomes too thick, add a little more broth or water to adjust the consistency.
