This tasty beef stew will make your family feel good and fill them up. Beef, potatoes, carrots, and celery that are soft and cooked in a tasty broth make a hearty dish that is great for cold nights.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 4 cups beef broth. 1 onion, diced. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 4 carrots, peeled and sliced. 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed. 2 stalks celery, sliced. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. 1 bay leaf. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: In a large bowl, toss beef cubes with flour until evenly coated. In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add diced onion and minced garlic, saut until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour in beef broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add carrots, potatoes, celery, thyme, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until beef and vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaf before serving.
