Beef and Mushroom Stew
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of beef broth
- 1 cup of red wine
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 8 ounces of mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the beef cubes in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches and brown on all sides. Remove the browned beef and set aside.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and red wine. Add the bay leaves and dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- Add the sliced carrots, cubed potatoes, and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for an additional 45 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.
- Remove the bay leaves from the stew. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley before serving.
- Serve the beef and mushroom stew hot, with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Beef stew with added mushrooms has a rich history dating back to medieval Europe, where it was a staple among peasants and nobility alike. The addition of mushrooms adds a depth of earthy flavor to the hearty dish. In France, renowned chefs like Julia Child popularized the use of mushrooms in beef stew, elevating it to a gourmet status. Today, this classic dish can be found in cozy bistros in Paris, bustling taverns in London, and rustic farmhouses in Tuscany. The key to a perfect beef stew with mushrooms lies in the slow simmering of tender beef, aromatic vegetables, and savory mushrooms in a flavorful broth. For a twist, some chefs add a splash of red wine or a dollop of Dijon mustard for an extra layer of complexity. Whether enjoyed in a quaint European eatery or homemade in your kitchen, beef stew with added mushrooms is a comforting and satisfying meal that has stood the test of time.
