Description

A rich and comforting Savory Beef and Mushroom Stew with tender chunks of beef, earthy mushrooms, and aromatic herbs simmered in a flavorful broth. Perfect for chilly evenings or when you need a heartwarming, satisfying meal. This stew is easy to make and gets better the longer it cooks.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g beef chuck, cut into chunks
  • 200g fresh mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini mushrooms work great)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 500ml beef broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Heat the Oil: Start by heating 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  • Brown the Beef: Add the beef chunks to the pot and brown on all sides, sealing in the juices. Once browned, remove the beef and set it aside.
  • Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
  • Thicken with Flour: Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for an additional minute to help thicken the stew.
  • Combine and Simmer: Return the browned beef to the pot and add the mushrooms, beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and bring it to a boil.
  • Add the Herbs: Toss in your fresh thyme or rosemary. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1.5 hours until the beef is tender.
  • Season and Thicken: Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a thicker stew, let it cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.

Notes

  • For Slow Cooker: You can transfer everything to a slow cooker after browning the beef and sautéing the onions. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Freezing Leftovers: This stew can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just make sure it’s fully cooled before freezing.
