Red Wine Beef Stew with Mushrooms
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup red wine
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the beef stew meat, flour, salt, and black pepper, tossing to coat the meat evenly.
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and brown on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Pour in the red wine and deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Return the browned beef to the pot and add the beef broth, tomato paste, dried thyme, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Add the sliced carrots, cubed potatoes, and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for an additional 1 hour, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.
- Season the stew with additional salt and pepper to taste. Discard the bay leaves and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve the red wine beef stew with mushrooms hot, accompanied by crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a comforting and satisfying meal.
