Ingredients
- 1 lb potato cut into 1-2" pieces
- 3 Tablespoons neutral cooking oil as needed, generic cooking oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 talks celery diced
- 2 carrot peeled and diced
- 1 onion diced
- 3 Cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tablespoons flour or cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon thyme
- 4 cups beef broth or more as desired
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Chop potatoes into 1-2" pieces and place on the prepared pan. Drizzle with 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, toss to coat, and then season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, as you prepare the stew.
- Place remaining oil in a stockpot or dutch oven over medium heat. Once oil is hot, add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until ground beef is well-browned (about 4 minutes or so) then add the diced onions, carrots and celery to the pot. Continue cooking for about 4 more minutes, until the onions are soft.
- Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute, then stir in the flour and thyme. Stir well, cooking for a couple more minutes, so that the flour coats all the meat and vegetables.
- Pour in the beef broth and add Worcestershire sauce. Increase heat and bring the stew to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10 more minutes, until stew thickens and vegetables become tender. Stir in roasted potatoes and season to taste.
