Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, coat the stewing beef with flour, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Brown the beef in batches until nicely seared on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.
  • In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  • Add the carrots, potatoes, and celery to the pot. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  • Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth and red wine (if using). Stir well to combine.
  • Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 2 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
  • Serve the beef stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can marinate the beef in red wine for a couple of hours before cooking.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • This beef stew tastes even better when reheated the next day, allowing the flavors to deepen.
