I had given up because every recipe I used made more of a boring beef soup than a perfectly tender stew in a thick, flavorful sauce. I did prepare it the night before because isn’t that the secret to making so many things even more delicious;) About 30 minutes before serving I decided to add the cornstarch & water and that made it perfect! Two of us finished it over two nights & my man used a piece of bread to get all the sauce out of the empty pot. You know that is a big gold star, or five of them!

The only thing I changed was that I used extra potatoes and carrots and added half a can of corn and half a can of peas (because I had them left over from the night before). It was even better the next day after the flavors had all melded together.

As mentioned in the notes, I used a slurry because I like my stew thicker. I added 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to 3 tablespoons of water.

I will definitely be making this again.

I had to make some slight adjustments because my store was out of Worcestershire (subbed with Japanese BBQ and soy sauce for a sort of similar umami flavor) and I realized while cooking I was out of rosemary so I just used extra thyme. It was the perfect cozy meal to weather out a snowstorm! Currently eating next day leftovers and they are just as good.

So, I saddled up and cranked this recipe up to feed 10 hungry cowhands!

Now, I’ll admit, I stumbled outta the gate. I got so excited to wrangle up those cubes of beef that I forgot to roll ‘em in flour before tossing them into the pan. No big deal, though. Once all the meat was cooked and I was ready to add the veggies, I grabbed my flour and some water, whipped up a quick slurry, and stirred it into the pot. Let it cook for about a minute, and boom – problem solved.

The second little hitch in my giddy-up came after I simmered it for an hour and 15 minutes and then added the potatoes. After another 30 minutes, the stew was smelling like a dream, but the juice was a little too thin for my liking. So, I mixed up 1/4 cup of cornstarch with a cup of water and slowly stirred it in. The result? A stew so rich and hearty, it practically begged to be ladled over a pile of noodles.

And let me tell ya, none of these tweaks messed with the downright incredible flavor of this dish. This stew’s got a taste that’ll stick to your ribs and keep you coming back for more. Whoever dreamed up this recipe, my hat’s off to you. You’ve got yourself a lifelong fan out here on the range.

Paired with buttered crunchy toast. I did burn my mouth trying to taste it but that’s on me. I got nervous when so much flour got burnt up in the oil when I first started searing the meat, but it all worked out when I eventually deglazed with wine. Will definitely make again one day.
