Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds beef stew meat (or lamb) cut into nothing larger than 1 to 1-1/2-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil or neutral-flavored oil
- 1 medium yellow onions chopped
- 2 large cloves garlic minced or grated
- 2 large potatoes each cut into 6 wedges
- 1 celery stalk finely chopped
- 2 sliced carrots optional (makes gravy sweeter)
- 2 tablespoons brown rice flour
- 2 cups gluten free reduced-sodium beef broth Better Than Bouillon “Organic” Beef Base + water
- 3/4 cup gluten free beer Redbridge (or more gluten free beef broth)
- 1 teaspoon gluten free Worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins in the U.S.)
- 1/2 cup stewed tomatoes
- 2 large bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat a Dutch oven or large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add oil and swirl around the pot.
-
Add the beef and brown on all sides. (You don’t have to cook it all of the way through just yet.)
-
Lower the heat and add the onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes.
-
Stir in the garlic and sauté just 1 additional minute.
-
Add the potatoes, celery, and carrots, if using. Stir to combine.
-
Pour in the beef broth, beer or Worcestershire sauce (if using), tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, and parsley. Stir and bring a low boil. Lower heat, cover with top crocked a little to allow steam to escape and cook until the meat is tender, about 2 hours.
-
Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove bay leaves and serve.
Tips
This recipe can also be made in a crockpot/slow cooker. Just cook for about 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. To make this in a Dutch oven, roast for 2-1/2 to 3 hours in a preheated 325°F oven, covered.
