Easy Beef Stew Recipe On Stove

This easy beef stew recipe on the stove yields a hearty, comforting, and classic meal using simple ingredients and straightforward steps—all prepared in a single pot for easy cleanup^[1].

Ingredients:

• 1 pound stew meat, or cubed boneless chuck roast
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 ounces tomato paste
• 32 ounces beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
• 3 carrots, sliced into discs
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

• Season the beef with salt and pepper.
• In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once heated, add the cubed beef and sear on all sides. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Remove the beef and set aside.
• Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the diced onion for 2 minutes, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
• Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the onions and garlic. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, whisking and scraping the pot bottom to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits for more flavor.
• Return the beef to the pot. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 60 minutes (or until the beef is tender).
• Add the cubed potatoes and carrot slices. Cover and simmer for another 20–25 minutes, or until vegetables are easily pierced with a fork.
• Remove from heat, adjust the consistency with additional broth if desired, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
