380g
3/4 cup mushrooms

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Peel and slice the carrots.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
- Trim and cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces.
2. Sear the Beef:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef cubes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
- Sear the beef until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
- Remove the beef and set aside.
3. Cook the Aromatics:
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion.
- Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add Tomato Puree and Spices:
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato puree.
- Add 1 teaspoon paprika.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fragrant.
5. Add Flour and Beef Broth:
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the onion mixture.
- Stir continuously for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add 1.5 cups of beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Combine the Ingredients:
- Return the seared beef to the pot.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and cut green beans.
- Stir everything together to ensure it’s well mixed.
7. Simmer the Stew:
- Cover the pot with a lid.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
8. Check for Seasoning:
- Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
9. Serve:
- Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot.
- Enjoy your hearty and delicious classic one-pot beef stew!

Tips:

- Choose a well-marbled cut of beef, like chuck roast, for a more tender and flavorful stew.

- Brown the beef in batches. Overcrowding the pot can cause the meat to steam rather than sear, affecting the flavor.

- Deglaze the pot with a bit of beef broth after browning the beef. This will release flavorful browned bits stuck to the bottom.

- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

- Simmer the stew gently on low heat to allow the flavors to meld together without overcooking the meat and vegetables.

- Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving. A final sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley can add a burst of fresh flavor.

Your classic one-pot beef stew is now ready to be enjoyed. This hearty and flavorful meal is perfect for any season, offering a wholesome and comforting dining experience. Whether served on its own or with a side of crusty bread, this stew is sure to become a family favorite.
