Hearty One-Pot Beef Stew

Print Recipe

A soul-warming, rustic beef stew packed with tender chunks of beef, buttery potatoes, sweet carrots, and onions—all simmered in a rich tomato-based broth until melt-in-your-mouth perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into chunks
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4 large carrots, chopped
  • 6 small Yukon gold potatoes, halved
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper, then sear in batches until browned. Set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute.
  3. Pour in beef broth, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and paprika. Stir to combine.
  4. Return beef to the pot, then add carrots, potatoes, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, or until beef and vegetables are tender.
  6. Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, marinate beef with herbs and garlic for a few hours beforehand.
  • Can be made ahead and tastes even better the next day.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a heartier meal.
