Recipe Summary Slow Simmer Beef Stew

This is the best beef stew I've ever tasted. My husband ate 4 bowls the first time I made it and my 9-month-old ate two bowls mashed up! I like to brown my beef for stew, and I hate to dirty both a pot and the slow cooker, so I prefer to cook the stew exclusively on the stove.

Ingredients | What To Have With Beef Stew And Dumplings

2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into cubes

½ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed

¼ cup butter

¼ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

1 onion, chopped

8 cups beef broth, divided

6 cups sliced carrots

6 cups diced potatoes

3 cups chopped celery

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Combine beef stew meat and flour in a resealable plastic bag; seal bag and shake to coat beef.

Melt butter with olive oil in a large pot over high heat; add beef and season with seasoned salt. Cook and stir beef until seared on all sides 5 to 7 minutes. Stir onion into the beef; cook and stir until the onion is browned, about 5 minutes more.

Pour enough of the beef broth into the pot to cover the bottom; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add remainder of the beef broth; bring to a simmer before adding carrots, potatoes, celery, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, basil, paprika, and garlic powder.

Bring liquid to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook stew at a simmer until the meat and vegetables are very tender, 3 to 4 hours.
