What Ingredients Do You Need For Delicious Beef Stew?

Beef chuck roast: The beef is the star of the show in this recipe, and the chuck roast is the perfect cut to use. It’s a well-marbled cut of meat that when slow-cooked,  becomes incredibly tender.

Olive oil: Used to brown the beef in a hot pan, adding a nice crust and rich flavor to the stew.

Onions, diced: Adds a sweet and savory flavor to the stew and help to thicken the broth.

Garlic, minced: Adds a nice pungent and savory flavor to the stew.

Beef broth: The base of the stew helps to keep the beef and vegetables moist during cooking.

Red wine: Adds a rich and complex flavor to the stew, and helps to break down the collagen in the beef for a more tender final product.

Diced carrots: Adds a nice sweetness and crunch to the stew, and also help to thicken the broth.

Diced potatoes: Adds a nice starchiness and bulk to the stew, and also help to thicken the broth.

Diced celery: Adds a nice crunch and savory flavor to the stew.

Frozen peas: gives the stew a lovely splash of color and sweetness.

Tomato paste: it’s used to add a nice depth of flavor and it helps the broth to get thickened.

Dried thyme: Adds a nice herbaceous flavor to the stew.

Dried rosemary: Adds a nice woodsy flavor to the stew.

Pepper and salt to taste: helps to enhance the flavors of all the stew’s ingredients.

Delicious beef stew recipe steps

In a sizable pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Cook the beef after adding them for about 5 minutes, or until getting browned on all sides.

Take the beef out of the pot, then set it aside.

Using the same pot, put the garlic, onions, and a pinch of pepper and salt.
