Better Than a Blanket! This Rich Beef Stew Is The Perfect Winter Meal

Forget everything you know about tough stew meat! Today, we’re making a rich, hearty beef stew using 3 pounds of cubed beef, slow simmered until it literally falls apart. From the perfect sear to that secret pop of green at the end, this is the only recipe you need for a cozy night in. Ingredients: Beef Cubes: 3 lbs Onion (Sliced): 1 medium Garlic (Minced): 2 cloves Tomato Paste: 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour: 1 tbsp Beef Broth: 3 - 4 cups Seasoning: Salt & Black Pepper: 1 tsp each (plus extra to taste) Potatoes (Cubed): 2 medium Carrots (Cubed): 2 large Celery (Sliced): 2 stalks Peas (Frozen or Fresh): 1 cup Instructions: In a large pot, brown the beef cubes in batches. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until a dark crust forms. Remove the beef and set aside on a plate. In the same pan (don't wash those brown bits!), fry the sliced onion until softened. Add 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and the minced garlic. Stir until fragrant. Add 1 tbsp tomato paste and stir for 1 minute to cook out the raw flavour. Sprinkle in 1 tbsp flour and stir for another 1 minute, this will thicken your stew later! Pour in 3-4 cups of beef broth. Stir for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pan to lift up all that flavour. Add the beef back into the pot. Cover and simmer on medium heat for 1 hour. Add the potatoes, carrots, and celery. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes until the vegetables are fork-tender. Five minutes before turning off the stove, stir in 1 cup of peas. Taste your gravy. If it's too thick, add a splash of water. If it needs more punch, add a final pinch of salt.
