- Add the sliced carrots and cubed potatoes to the pot, and continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the meat is cooked through.
- Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until heated through.
- Remove the bay leaves and season the stew with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the hearty beef stew with a splash of red wine and enjoy!
Hearty Beef Stew with a splash of red wine has a rich history dating back to medieval Europe, where it was a staple among peasants and nobility alike. The addition of red wine adds depth and complexity to the stew, elevating it to a gourmet dish. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Gordon Ramsay have popularized this recipe, infusing it with their own unique twists. In regions like France and Italy, this dish is a beloved classic, often enjoyed with a crusty baguette or creamy polenta. Today, the best versions of this stew can be found in cozy bistros and family-owned trattorias, where it's simmered to perfection. The key to getting this dish right lies in using quality beef, fresh vegetables, and a robust red wine to enhance the flavors. For a famous alternative method, some chefs recommend marinating the beef in red wine before cooking to infuse it with even more richness.
