2 lb beef
910g
1 onion
160g
2 tbsp tomato puree
30g
1 tsp paprika
5g
1 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
16g
1.50 cups beef broth
380g
3/4 cup mushrooms
170g
2 carrots
120g
5 potatoes
1000g
1 cup green beans
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Cube the beef into bite-sized pieces.
- Dice the onion.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Peel and slice the carrots.
- Peel and cube the potatoes.
- Trim and halve the green beans.
2. Start with the Beef:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the cubed beef to the pot and brown it on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same pot, add the diced onion. Sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato puree and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until it starts to darken slightly.
4. Combine and Season:
- Sprinkle the paprika and flour over the onions and tomato puree. Stir well to coat and cook for another 1-2 minutes. This will help to thicken the stew.
5. Simmer the Stew:
- Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Return the browned beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
6. Add the Vegetables:
- After 30 minutes, add the sliced mushrooms, carrots, cubed potatoes, and green beans to the pot.
- Stir to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are submerged in the broth.
7. Cook Until Tender:
- Cover the pot again and let the stew simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the beef is cooked through.
8. Final Adjustments:
- Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
9. Serve:
- Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your hearty and warming classic one-pot beef stew!

Tips:

- Choose a well-marbled cut of beef such as chuck roast for the best flavor and tenderness.

- Sear the beef properly to lock in juices and enhance flavor.

- Cut vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

- Season the stew well, but taste as you go to avoid over-salting.

- Simmer the stew gently; cooking it at a low temperature allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

With its rich and comforting flavors, Classic one-pot beef stew is a delightful and satisfying meal that is simple to prepare. Following these tips ensures a flavorful dish that's sure to please everyone at the table. Enjoy every warm, hearty bite!
