  • 2<\/span> teaspoons<\/span> salt<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> freshly ground black pepper<\/span><\/li>
  • 3<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> olive oil<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> medium<\/span> yellow onions<\/span> cut into 1-inch chunks<\/span><\/li>
  • 7<\/span> cloves<\/span> garlic<\/span> peeled and smashed<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> balsamic vinegar<\/span><\/li>
  • 1\u00bd<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> tomato paste<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bc<\/span> cup<\/span> all-purpose flour<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> cups<\/span> dry red wine<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> cups<\/span> beef broth<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> cups<\/span> water<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> bay leaf<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> dried thyme<\/span><\/li>
  • 1\u00bd<\/span> teaspoons<\/span> sugar<\/span><\/li>
  • 4<\/span> large<\/span> carrots<\/span> peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks on a diagonal<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> pound<\/span> small white boiling potatoes<\/span> baby yukons, cut in half<\/span><\/li>
  • Fresh chopped parsley<\/span> for serving (optional)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/span>Instructions<\/span><\/h3>
    • Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F and set a rack in the lower middle position.<\/div><\/li>
    • Pat the beef dry and season with the salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy soup pot, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Brown the meat in 3 batches, turning with tongs, for about 5 minutes per batch; add one tablespoon more oil for each batch. (To sear the meat properly, do not crowd the pan and let the meat develop a nice brown crust before turning with tongs.) Transfer the meat to a large plate and set aside.<\/div><\/li>
    • Add the onions, garlic and balsamic vinegar; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and scraping the brown bits from bottom of the pan, for about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for a minute more. Add the beef with its juices back to the pan and sprinkle with the flour. Stir with wooden spoon until the flour is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine, beef broth, water, bay leaf, thyme, and sugar. Stir with a wooden spoon to loosen any brown bits from the bottom of the pan and bring to a boil. Cover the pot with a lid, transfer to the preheated oven, and braise for 2 hours.<\/div><\/li>
    • Remove the pot from the oven and add the carrots and potatoes. Cover and place back in oven for about an hour more, or until the vegetables are cooked, the broth is thickened, and the meat is tender. Fish out the bay leaf and discard, then taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve the stew warm — or let it come to room temperature and then store in the refrigerator overnight or until ready to serve. This stew improves in flavor if made at least 1 day ahead. Reheat, covered, over medium heat. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

      <\/span>Notes<\/span><\/h3>
      If you don\u2019t have a Dutch oven or covered pot that is appropriate for the oven, the stew can be cooked on the stove. The timing will be the same and it should be cooked over the lowest setting.<\/span>
      <\/div>\nFeel free to adapt the recipe to your liking. You can leave out the potatoes and serve it over buttered egg noodles, or toss in some frozen peas or saut\u00e9ed mushrooms at the very end. Either way, it\u2019s soul-satisfying comfort food for a cold night.<\/span>
      <\/div>\nFreezer-Friendly Instructions:<\/strong>\u00a0The stew can be frozen for up to 3 months. Before serving, defrost the stew in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat until hot.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2270,136,559,2194,697],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-braised","category-entree","category-french","category-stew-dish","category-stove-top"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/beef-stew-with-carrots-potatoes-1536x1068-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4982"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4988,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4982\/revisions\/4988"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
