Hot take, but I truly believe every household needs a classic beef stew recipe to lean on in times of need.<\/p>\n

Whether someone in the home is extra hungry and needs something filling and satisfying, it\u2019s snowing, rainy, or otherwise stay inside weather, or you\u2019re meal prepping for weekday meals, beef stew is always an excellent option.<\/p>\n

I make a hearty beef stew no less than 4 times during the fall and winter months, and often even more.<\/p>\n

Tender beef, squishy potatoes, and rich broth that I can dip buttered toast in? Sign me up early and often!<\/p>\n

The main ingredients for beef stew are beef stew meat (or beef chuck roast cut into 1-inch cubes), beef broth, dried herbs, fresh vegetables, and potatoes. This combination of ingredients yields a thick and hearty stew that is so flavorful and cozy for the belly.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s chat about beef stew ingredients in detail as each one is important to the recipe.<\/p>\n

Beef Stew Ingredients:<\/h2>\n

Avocado Oil:<\/strong> Used to saut\u00e9 the onion and brown the beef, we need a quality cooking oil. I use avocado oil because it has a high smoke point, ideal for cooking at high temperatures. Olive oil works too.<\/p>\n

Beef Stew Meat:<\/strong> The main ingredient in beef stew. I buy beef stew meat from the meat section of the grocery store, because it comes pre-chopped which saves time. You can also chop a chuck roast or boneless short ribs into chunks if you prefer other cuts of beef.<\/p>\n

Yellow Onion and Fresh Garlic:<\/strong> Fresh onion and garlic bring robust flavor to this easy beef stew recipe. Adjust the amount to your desired taste.<\/p>\n

Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour: <\/strong>For thick beef stew, we need to add a thickening agent like flour. I use gluten-free all-purpose flour but regular all-purpose flour works too. Corn starch or tapioca flour are also great options.<\/p>\n

Fresh Vegetables: <\/strong>Carrots, Celery, Yukon Potatoes: Hearty vegetables like carrots, potatoes and celery bring a nuanced flavor, texture, and carbohydrates for a filling, balanced meal. I use baby potatoes because they are easy to chop in half, but regular potatoes work great too.<\/p>\n

Beef Broth:<\/strong> The liquid in our beef stew. I like using beef bone broth for some added health benefits but regular beef stock works as well.<\/p>\n

Seasonings:<\/strong> Dried Oregano, Parsley, Bay Leaf, Sea Salt, and Black Pepper: The simple seasonings for our stove top beef stew recipe.<\/p>\n
