Beef and Carrot Stew image

This is a good stew for OAMC (once a month cooking) since it doesn't have any potatoes and thus will freeze well. Fresh made cheesy dumplings finish off the meal.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 onion, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
1 3/4 lbs lean beef, cut into cubes
13 1/2 ounces beef stock
3/4 cup red wine
2 bay leaves
1 3/4 tablespoons flour
4 carrots, cubed
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and celery and sauté for about 4 minutes; remove and set aside. Place beef cubes in pot, increase heat to medium high, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to brown evenly. Return aromatic vegetables to pot, add beef stock, red wine, bay leaves and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring stew to a boil, then reduce heat and cook 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove cover and sift in flour (I use a wire strainer) and stir to thicken liquid. Add carrots and cook an additional 20 minutes. If making dumplings they would be added at this time.
