Ingredients

2 pounds beef chuck for stew, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
4 medium carrots, peeled, halved and cut into 1-inch chunks
3 small onions, diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans reduced-sodium beef or chicken broth
2 cups dry red wine
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 handfuls green beans, ends trimmed

Directions

Season the beef cubes lightly with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy 6-quart pot over medium heat. As soon as the butter starts to turn brown, add half the beef and raise the heat to high. At first, the beef will give off some liquid, but once that evaporates, the beef will start to brown. Cook, turning the beef cubes on all sides until the pieces are as evenly browned as possible, about 5 or 6 minutes after the water has boiled off. If the pan starts to get too brown at any point, just turn down the heat a little. Scoop the beef into a bowl and brown the rest of the beef the same way using the remaining butter.

Scoop out the second batch of beef, then add the carrots and onions and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook until the onion starts to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour until it has been worked into the veggies and you can’t see it any more. Pour in the chicken broth, wine, and crushed tomatoes, and toss in the rosemary. Slide the beef back into the pot and bring the liquid to a boil.

Turn down the heat so the liquid is just breaking a gentle simmer. Partially cover the pot and cook 50 minutes. Stir the stew several times while simmering so it cooks evenly and nothing sticks to the bottom.

Stir the potatoes into the stew, cover the pot completely, and cook until the potatoes and beef are tender, stirring occasionally, about another 45 minutes. Add the beans and cook for another 5 minutes until the green beans turn bright green and are cooked through but still have a nice snap to them.

Best I have ever made
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't expect the end results to be so good. I used peas instead of green beans cause thats what my husband likes, but it... had a great taste. Thanks I know I will be making this again.Read more

Super stew
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

As someone self employed and working long hours, I had the luxury of not having to cook. I finally decided to try my hand at... homemade meals. On a finally cold day in California, I decided to make stew. I entered boiled beef and came up with this terrific recipe. My husband thought I found some great take-out place selling "comfort food". Thank you so much for this truly great dish. Oh, I did change it a bit and added 2 cloves of garlic as we both love the stuff. Thank you Dave Lieberman.Read more

Best beef stew I have had in a long time..
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was a little skeptical when i saw this recipe,but once i tried it, i knew i would definitely make again. I just made a few... changes, instead of using the dry red wine, which I didn't have, i used worchestershire sauce, I also added some fresh parsley, and it turned out great. Thanks dave.... Read more

Excellent Flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was my first time making beef stew and I wanted to try a recipe that used red wine. I like my potatoes soft and... marinated in the broth so I changed the recipe a little. Instead of cooking the beef and veggies together for 50 min and adding the potatoes and cooking for another 45 min- I added the potatoes in right after the beef and veggies came to a boil. I then let it simmer for 2 hours and added the green beans for another 5 minutes at the end. It came out great and I would definitely make this recipe again!Read more

EASY, TASTY, BEEF STAYED MOIST & TENDER
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a very easy recipe to prepare. Unfortunately I didn't have any fresh rosemary so I subbed about a tablespoon of... dried. Other than that, I followed the recipe to a tee. The aromas were mouth-watering!! Every ingredient cooked to perfection and delicious! Will definitely make this again.Read more

Love It!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe, it is so easy to make and you can expierment with it as well. I have added items such as rice, orka and... beans. The okra was very interesting and gave it a creole flavor. I highly recommend this recipe for someone who wants to start cooking stews/soups. I have made it so much that I don't even need the recipe anymore. Only word of advice when cooking this don't cook the meat as long as the recipe calls for at first. I have found that if you simmer the stew a lot longer and let the meat cook that way it falls apart with a touch of a spoon. Also I like my stew thicker so I used less beef broth, also if you make your own beef broth it comes out a lot better. Enjoy and Manga Manga!Read more
