Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into chunks
- 1 onion, cut into chunks
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cans condensed beef broth
- water, as needed
- 6 small potatoes, cut into chunks
- 3 carrots, cut into chunks
Equipment
- Dutch oven
Directions
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven. Add the beef and cook until brown on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the onions and garlic then cook until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Season well with salt and pepper then stir in the tomato paste, to coat.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and toss to coat, making sure the flour is well absorbed. Slowly stir in the beef broth. Add enough water so the liquid level comes about 1 inch above the meat.
- Cover and cook for about 1 hour, until the beef is almost tender.
- Stir in the potatoes and carrots then continue to cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper before serving.
