Classic Stovetop Beef Stew
Ingredients:
1 lb beef stew meat, cut into cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 carrots, peeled and sliced
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 cups beef broth (halal certified)
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening)
1/4 cup water
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onions and garlic and sauté until translucent.
Return the beef to the pot. Add carrots, potatoes, beef broth, diced tomatoes, thyme, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the meat is tender.
In a small bowl, mix the flour with water to create a slurry. Stir this into the stew to thicken.
Continue to cook for another 10 minutes or until the desired thickness is reached.
