Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound beef stew meat cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 3 potatoes cubed
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 4 round bread bowls

Instructions
 

Brown the beef

  • Heat oil in a pot. Add beef cubes. Cook until brown on all sides for rich flavor.

Add onions and garlic

  • Stir in onions and garlic. Cook until soft and fragrant to build deep flavor in stew.

Add vegetables

  • Add carrots, potatoes, and celery. Mix gently to coat everything with the warm beef juices.

Stir in tomato paste

  • Add tomato paste and mix well. This gives the stew a deep color and richer taste.

Add broth and spices

  • Pour in the beef broth. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine well.

Simmer the stew

  • Cover the pot and simmer for one hour. Let the beef cook slowly until perfectly tender.

Thicken the stew

  • Mix flour with a little water. Pour into stew. Stir until the stew becomes thick and creamy.

Prepare the bread bowls

  • Cut the top off each bread bowl. Scoop out the inside. Leave thick walls to hold hot stew.

Fill the bread bowls

  • Ladle hot beef stew into the bread bowls. Let the bread soak up the rich and savory broth.

Serve warm

  • Serve the bread bowls immediately. Enjoy the tender beef, warm bread, and bold flavors together.

Notes

  • Use fresh bread bowls for the best taste and texture.
  • Tenderize the beef by cooking it slowly over low heat.
  • Use red wine instead of some broth for richer flavor.
  • Add peas during the last 10 minutes for extra color and sweetness.
  • Use sourdough bread bowls if you like a stronger bread flavor.
  • Swap beef with turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Add mushrooms for extra depth and earthy taste.
