Semi-dried tomato braised beef and potato stew is a hearty and comforting dish perfect for family dinners and cold evenings. This recipe combines tender beef with rich flavors of sun-dried tomatoes and aromatic herbs. It's an excellent meal that brings warmth to the table.
Instructions:
- Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Dice the onion.
- Slice the celery stalk.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces.
- Coarsely chop the sun-dried tomatoes if they are large.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the beef pieces in batches (avoid overcrowding the pot).
- Sear the beef on all sides until browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch.
- Remove the seared beef from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic.
- Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced celery and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
- Return the seared beef to the pot with the sautéed vegetables.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and chopped rosemary.
- Pour in the beef broth and 1/2 cup of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
- Let it simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally.
- After the stew has simmered, add the diced potatoes to the pot.
- Stir to combine the potatoes with the other ingredients.
- Continue to simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the beef is cooked through.
- Once the stew is ready, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Stir in the freshly chopped parsley just before serving for a burst of fresh flavor.
- Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot.
- Optionally, garnish with a bit more fresh parsley.
Tips:
- Brown the beef well: Take your time to sear the beef on all sides until it's brown. This step adds depth to the flavor of the stew.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot distributes heat evenly and helps in reducing the risk of burning or overcooking.
- Don't rush the cooking process: Allow the stew to simmer slowly. This ensures that the flavors meld together beautifully and the beef becomes tender.
- Cut vegetables uniformly: Chop your potatoes, onions, and celery into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste the stew towards the end of cooking and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Add fresh herbs at the end: Stir in the fresh parsley just before serving to keep its vibrant color and fresh taste.
By following these steps, you can create a wonderfully flavorful and tender beef and potato stew that's sure to impress your family or guests. The combination of sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, and slow-cooked beef makes for a delicious, wholesome meal.
