Description

This hearty Beef and Mushroom Stew brings warmth to any gathering, perfect for cozy nights spent with family and friends. Tender chunks of beef meld beautifully with earthy mushrooms and savory vegetables, creating a dish that's both comforting and satisfying, reminiscent of mountain adventures and rustic fare.

Method

1
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat (170°C).
2
Add the beef chunks and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3
In the same pot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
4
Stir in the garlic and mushrooms; cook for an additional 3 minutes until the mushrooms release their juices.
5
Return the beef to the pot and sprinkle with flour; stir to combine, cooking for 2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
6
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, then bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pot.
7
Reduce heat to low (110°C), cover, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally until the beef is tender.
8
Add the potatoes and thyme, cooking for another 20 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
9
Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
