Harvest Beef Stew: An Incredible Essential Recipe for Fall

CHEF ELLIE GRACE

| TOTAL TIME: 2 HOURS 30 MINUTES

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 large onion, diced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 4 cups beef broth

• 2 cups carrots, sliced

• 2 cups potatoes, diced

• 1 cup parsnips, diced

Making Autumn Harvest Beef Stew is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

3. Add Tomato Paste: Stir in tomato paste and cook for an additional minute, allowing it to caramelize slightly and enhance its flavor.

4. Deglaze: Pour in a splash of beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. This adds flavor to the stew.

5. Return Beef: Add the browned beef back into the pot along with the remaining beef broth.

• 1 cup celery, diced

• 1 tablespoon tomato paste

• 2 teaspoons dried thyme

• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

• 1 bay leaf

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

6. Add Vegetables: Incorporate carrots, potatoes, parsnips, and celery into the mixture.

7. Season: Add dried thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper.

8. Simmer: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let the stew simmer for about 2 hours or until the beef is tender.

9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, removing the bay leaf before serving.

10. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color.

By following these clear steps, you ensure that your Autumn Harvest Beef Stew turns out rich in flavor and delightful in every bite.
