Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef , strip, chuck or beef stew pieces, fat trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds potato cut into 1 inch cubes, Yukon gold variety
- 3 cups beef broth low-sodium
- 14.5 ounces fire-roasted tomatoes , diced and drained
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
- 2 bay leaves dried
- 1 medium sweet onion , cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon oregano finely chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt coarse
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot , or cornstarch
- sea salt such as Maldon, flakey
Instructions
- Blot the beef dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
- In a large enameled pot or other non-stick pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil. Add the beef when hot, turning until outsides are brown. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- Add the cooked beef, potatoes, broth, tomatoes, garlic, bay leaves, onion, oregano, vinegar, Worcestershire, salt, pepper and paprika to a slow cooker or large Dutch oven. Stir and cover.
- For a slow cooker, cook on low for 3 hours. For Dutch oven, simmer on the absolute lowest heat your stove has covered.
- Skim the top of your stew for any fat drippings. Ladle out 1/2 cup of broth only and whisk with the arrowroot or cornstarch. Stir into stew mixture and cook for an additional 10 minutes. If you desire a thicker stew, add more arrowroot.
- Ladle into a bowl and garnish with a flakey sea salt, like Maldon.
