Beef Stew [0000550]

Ingredients:

1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
3 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups gluten-free beef broth
1 cup gluten-free red wine (or additional beef broth)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

In a bowl, toss the cubed beef stew meat with gluten-free all-purpose flour until coated evenly.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Add the coated beef cubes to the pot and brown them on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until it's translucent.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Return the browned beef cubes to the pot.

Add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes.

Pour in the gluten-free beef broth and red wine (or additional beef broth) to cover the ingredients.

Add the bay leaf and dried thyme to the pot.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. 

Cover and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded.

Check the seasoning and adjust as needed.

Discard the bay leaf.

Serve the Gluten-Free Beef Stew hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
