Beef Stew Ingredients

Method

Beef Stew Directions

1

Brown the Beef

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef chuck and brown on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.

2

Sauté Vegetables

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

3

Simmer the Stew

Return the beef to the pot. Add potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 1.5 hours until the beef is tender.

4

Prepare Potato Pancake

While the stew simmers, grate 2 medium potatoes and mix with 1 egg, 1/4 cup flour, salt, and pepper to taste. Form into pancakes and fry in a skillet until golden brown on both sides.

5

Serve

Once the stew is done, remove the bay leaf and serve the beef stew hot atop the crispy potato pancake.
