Instructions

  • Season the beef with kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper, then sprinkle gluten-free flour over and toss gently.
  • In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil and brown the seasoned beef chunks in batches for 3 to 4 minutes on all sides.
  • Sauté chopped onion, minced garlic, and carrot in the same pot for 2 to 3 minutes until softened.
  • Add Yukon Gold potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and fresh thyme. Stir well and return the beef to the pot.
  • Cover and slow cook in the oven at 325°F (163°C) for 2 to 2½ hours until beef is fork-tender.
  • Remove from oven, discard bay leaf, taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Serve stew in bowls, garnished with fresh thyme leaves, and enjoy warm.

Notes

Quality meat matters for tenderness; don't skip browning the beef for depth of flavor. Adjust seasoning before serving and use fresh herbs for best taste.
