Dutch Oven Beef Stew
Description
This stew recipe starts by dredging round steak cubes in a seasoned flour and pepper mixture, then browning them with onions in vegetable oil. Adding water and finely chopped vegetables along with parsley, salt, and thyme creates a savory broth base. Slow simmering for over an hour develops tender beef and melds flavors. Additional vegetables and peas are added later to maintain texture and color.
The finished stew has a thick, hearty consistency with tender chunks of beef and softened vegetables. It can be served as a main dish accompanied by bread or over rice for a complete meal.
This recipe uses fresh herbs and a balance of root vegetables for depth. The timing of ingredient additions ensures even cooking without over-softening certain vegetables.
