Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Homemade Beef Stew.
Step 1
Begin by heating vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, add the beef chunks and sear them until they develop a rich, brown crust on all sides, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Once browned, transfer the beef and the oil into a spacious pot.
Step 4
In that same pot, introduce water, sliced carrots, chopped onion, chopped celery, Worcestershire sauce, salt, sugar, black pepper, paprika, pressed garlic, bay leaves, and ground allspice.
Step 5
Give everything a good stir to ensure the flavors are well combined.
Step 6
Cover the pot and let the stew simmer gently over low heat for an hour and a half, allowing the ingredients to meld beautifully and the beef to become tender.
Step 7
After this time, add the chopped russet potatoes to the pot, cover it once more, and continue to simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, which should take about 40 additional minutes.
Step 8
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your hearty stew comes together, perfect for warming up any chilly day.
