Vegetables Galore
No beef stew is complete without a medley of colorful and nutritious vegetables. Add 1 pound of peeled and cubed potatoes, 4 carrots cut into 1-inch pieces, and 4 stalks of celery also cut into 1-inch pieces. These vegetables will not only add vibrant hues to the stew but also provide a delightful crunch and natural sweetness. Let the stew simmer gently for about an hour or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. The tantalizing aroma will fill your home, making everyone eagerly anticipate the meal to come.
A Thick and Luscious Finish
To achieve a thick and luscious consistency for your beef stew, create a slurry using 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix them together until smooth, then gradually add the slurry to the stew, stirring constantly. This will help to thicken the broth and give it a velvety texture. If you prefer a thicker stew, you can adjust the amount of cornstarch accordingly.
A Pop of Color and Sweetness
To add a burst of color and sweetness, stir in ¾ cup of peas. The vibrant green peas will not only make the stew visually appealing but also provide a burst of freshness to balance the rich flavors. Let the stew simmer for a few more minutes to allow the peas to cook through. This final touch will elevate the overall taste and presentation of your beef stew.
And there you have it, a tantalizing Beef Stew Recipe that will warm your heart and please your taste buds.
