How to make hearty beef stew
1. Cut the carrots and onions into chunks.
2. In a medium bowl toss the stew beef with the flour and set aside.
3. Heat a dutch oven (I use a 7qt) or heavy bottom pot to medium-high heat, and brown the meat.
4. Add in the rest of the oil and add the carrots and onions and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add in the garlic and tomato paste and cook another 1-2 minutes.
6. Add in beef broth, wine, the rest of the ingredients, and simmer.

What are the best potatoes to use?

I use Yukon gold because they hold together best while cooking.

Do I have to sear the meat?

Searing the meat adds nice color to the beef and sears in the flavor. The bits of the meat from searing is in the bottom of the pot and loosen up when the rest of the ingredients get added.

What can I substitute for red wine?

An equal amount of more beef broth for the red wine will work.

How to store Hearty Beef Stew

Allow beef to cool and store in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
