Easy Beef Stew

STEWS ALWAYS HIT THE SPOT FOR ME. YOU CAN MAKE A BIG BATCH THAT WILL LAST A COUPLE OF DAYS!

Here’s a super easy beef stew. You add/subtract ingredients to your preference.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 kg beef, cut into cubes (
  • 1 large red onion, sliced (or 2-3 small red onions). I like lots of onions.
  • 3-4 large carrots, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced (you can less if you like)
  • spring onions (roughly chopped)
  • 2 sprigs of thyme
  • red wine, 1 bottle (You can use half a bottle. If don’t use wine, you can replace with stock/water.)
  • 1 litre beef (or veggie) stock
  • olive oil for frying
  • 2 tsps salt (plus more to taste)

METHOD:

  1. In a large pot, add about a tablespoon of olive oil over a medium heat. Season beef pieces with salt and pepper. Brown the beef pieces. Remove from the pot and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the onions.  Sauté for 3 or 4 minutes. Then add the the carrots and spring onions. Stir well.
  3. Add the garlic and thyme. Stir and make sure garlic is cooked (but be careful not to burn).
  4.  Add the red wine. Bring to boil and then simmer until the alcohol evaporates (when you don’t smell the alcohol spirit anymore).
  5. Add the beef back to the pot.
  6. Add the stock and a little water. Add about a 2 tsps of salt.
  7. Cover the pot with foil, leaving a small gap to allow some of the steam to escape.
  8. Cook in the oven for 1.5-2 hours at 350F/180C. You don’t want the stew to be to liquidy. Cook longer allow the sauce to thicken, if needed.
  9. Remove from oven. Allow to rest for a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

That’s it! Enjoy!!
