Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Beef Stew:

  • 2 lbs beef chuck (cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 3 carrots (sliced)
  • 2 celery stalks (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup red wine (optional)
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 1/2 cups baby potatoes (halved)

For Serving:

  • 4 round bread boules (hollowed out)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Season beef cubes with salt, pepper, and flour. Brown in batches in a Dutch oven. Set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, cook onion, garlic, carrots, and celery until softened. Stir in tomato paste.
  3. Deglaze and Simmer: Add red wine, then return beef to pot with broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaves. Simmer covered, then add potatoes and simmer until tender.
  4. Finalize and Serve: Adjust seasoning, ladle stew into bread bowls, and garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • To prevent soggy bread, toast the inside of the bread bowls at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes before filling.
  • Leftover stew is excellent the next day.
