- Stir in the sliced carrots, celery, and diced red potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes.
- Pour in the red wine and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
- Add the bay leaves and dried thyme to the pot, then bring the stew to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the frozen peas and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes until the peas are heated through.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, then remove the bay leaves before serving.
- Serve the beef and vegetable stew hot, and enjoy!
Beef and vegetable stew, with a hint of red wine, has a rich history dating back to medieval Europe. This hearty dish was a staple in the diets of peasants and nobility alike, with each region adding its own unique twist. French chefs often used red wine to enhance the flavor of the beef, while Italian cooks added a variety of fresh vegetables to create a robust and satisfying meal. Today, this classic dish can be found in restaurants around the world, but some of the best versions can still be enjoyed in the quaint countryside bistros of France or the cozy trattorias of Italy. The key to a perfect beef and vegetable stew lies in the quality of the ingredients, especially the beef and the red wine. For a delicious alternative, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar for a tangy twist.
