Best Ever Beef Stew: A Rich and Hearty Comfort Dish
Here’s what you’ll need to make the best ever beef stew:
Beef Chuck Roast: Boneless chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes. This cut is ideal for stew because it becomes tender after slow cooking.
Potatoes: Yukon gold or russet potatoes, diced, to add heartiness to the stew.
Carrots: Sliced carrots add natural sweetness and color.
Celery: Chopped celery adds an earthy flavor and crunch.
Onion: A chopped onion adds sweetness and depth to the stew.
Garlic: Minced garlic enhances the savory flavor of the stew.
Beef Broth: A rich beef broth forms the base of the stew and infuses the meat and vegetables with flavor.
Tomato Paste: Adds depth and richness to the broth.
Red Wine: Adds richness and deep flavor. You can substitute it with extra beef broth if preferred.
Worcestershire Sauce: Adds umami flavor and complexity to the broth.
Bay Leaves: Adds a subtle herbal note to the stew.
