What You’ll Need for “Warm Your Bones Beef Stew”:
- 3 lbs stew meat
- 1/3 cup flour
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1/2 cup red wine (dry)
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 carrots peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 2 red potatoes peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon thyme
Instructions:
- Flour the meat by shaking in a brown paper bag filled with flour and brown it in a skillet with olive oil
- Transfer browned stew meat to soup pot with beef broth and boil with other ingredients.
- Simmer, simmer, simmer – it will cook down. Add water as needed, and always have enough water to keep it covered. (Remember this is a soup so don’t worry about adding water 🙂 )
- Thicken with a rue of water and flour mixed together (about 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup flour will made it more of a liquid than a paste, which is what you want. You can also substitute the flour for cornstarch if you prefer.)
- Serve with warm flaky biscuits (the pillsbury ones in the can are our favorite!)
