Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion.
- Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato puree.
- Add 1 teaspoon paprika.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fragrant.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- 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.
