I did it all on the stovetop and it came out really tender. Just make sure it's lightly simmering, and scrape the bottom every so often. Add more liquid if you're afraid it might burn (heat it up first). I started with more liquid, so I didn't have to worry about that, and I just kept the lid off for the last 20 min to let the extra water evaporate.
The last time I had home made beef stew was about 50 some odd years ago when my mom would make it. I’m 64 and today that’s all gonna change cause I’m making for the 1st time. My wife and I are making it together so if doesn’t come out good one can blame the other 😀
Hey Matthew, I just made your beef stew. I'm not one to use OMG! lightly but, OMG! I've had a lot of beef stew over my many years, some good, some so-so, and a lot bad, your recipe has brought beef stew to another dimension, another realm. I thought baking it was a bit crazy, but you proved me wrong. Absolutely fantastic! Go take the weekend off - you deserve it.
Used this recipe to make beef stew with 4 pounds of beef. Oh my, so delicious ! I believe the searing and braising, then adding the veggies the last hour or so made a huge difference. Served this to my family and they loved it ! Out of this world delicious !
I had beef stew last night that my sister made. It was runny like soup and all the veggies were tender crisp, the meat was chewy. Not what I would call a stew. Now I'm on a mission to find a REAL beef stew recipe that I can make myself! I think I found it! ❤️
This is in my oven cooking and will be ready soon. Smells amazing. I usually make beef stew in my crockpot but wanted to use my Dutch oven this time. I landed on this recipe. I use my own seasoning blend, no flour or cornstarch. The thickening will come from natural reduction of water and starch from veggies. I seared the meat as indicated in olive oil instead of canola oil. The caramelizing of the onion and addition of tomato paste took it to another level of flavor. I don't cook with wine so substituted balsamic vinegar. I did have to use more beef stock (I use better than bouillon) for a total of 6 cups. I also used chuck roast cut into chunks. Definitely will make this way from now on.
That looks delicious. I only make beef stew in the slow cooker and never really comes out the way I want to. I will follow this recipe and use a Dutch oven instead. Thank you.
I made this Matthew!! I didn’t have potatoes, so I used mushrooms. I added the peas at the end, almost forgot, and it was so pretty! My stew meat was already cut up; but I cut a touch smaller because I remembered what you said about the right size bite for me (and my boys). It was a huge hit with fresh baked bread, that was still warm! Oh, also I didn’t have red wine, but there was a Guinness in the fridge so I used a little of that. It turned out so yummy🙏🏻 Thank you!
Haha yes! that's my bad! I meant to say "fresh or frozen." Most people only have frozen at home. not fresh. But even frozen peas basically warm-up in seconds in the hot stew. so both work great!
@Black Buick not too much difference! the lower heat and the time is what makes the meat soft. the benefit of using the oven is that you don't have to stir the stew and you won't burn the bottom. if you want to use the stove, you totally can, just make sure to not let it boil (only low simmer) and you have to keep strring it. :) good luck!
I watched this video a couple of days ago and made this today. This stew is 🔥 👨🚒 🚒 🧯. I cooked it on top of my range, stirring every 15 min on low medium low heat.
Planning a beef stew tomorrow for the holiday. Was looking for a few ideas, and this looks really good. Lots of good advice and confirmation of things I've noticed , the browning two sides then sauteeing until the rest is browned and looked good! Just like I've made. Also, I always see burned bits and I try for more mahogany, but always see the burned bits on shows and you confirm it's normal, so tomorrow I will be more concerned with effective browning. Nice job!
This looks great. There are so so many different versions or when to add. Saw a French chef make and it lined delish but you needed to be a gourmet chef to make. This looks easy
Thank you for the definitive tutorial on beef stew. Mine were always a tough and stringy endurance test followed by 20 minutes of flossing. Will make a pot, according to your instructions, for tomorrow's Sunday dinner.
I love your enthusiasm and it did turn out wonderful. Would be helpful if you said how much of each ingredient you were adding. I figured 2-3 cups broth by watching you pour etc… but amount during video would be nice.
This looks and sounds more like my Mom's beef stew than any other recipe I've ever seen and trust me I have been searching for it for years. I must try this ASAP! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much that's how you got your stew to look so pretty and more healthy I bet it tast better in the oven too then on the stove I'm definitely trying the next time I cook stew yesterday I kept saying something missing it didn't have that old fashion grandma feel to it hhm the tomatoes paste was missing use everything but that and the wine I use beef broth
I want to try using a cast iron, camp Dutch oven in our fireplace, using hardwood, lump charcoal to cook this terrific sounding recipe. We all may soon need to adapt to having to cook off-grid, IF WE CAN GET GROCERIES TO COOK! WWII UPON US???
I hope I will make this recipe in the future because I live in a small village town there's no butcher here to sell beef I like the beef stew recipe looks tender and delicious adding all the ingredients👍 thanks for making this recipe this video is helpful for everyone thanks.
Wow, this recipe was as close to perfect as it could be! We'll have to add more liquid since we love gravy, but it has everything we love. Even though our old method was pretty close to yours, going from a Dutch oven (our old preferred method) to a slow cooker (to store less cookware), it seems we need to go back to a Dutch oven for perfection. Thanks so much for your great recipe!
Looks great 👍 Michael...I just got my slow cooker today... but I have a dutch oven too... your recipe looks the best to me... so I'm going to try your recipe tomorrow... thanks...
OMG that looks amazing! We don't drink, so no wine, but the rest yes. I made my beef stew a few weeks ago. Yes, it's 90° in Texas, but we have a/c so what the heck.
This looks beautiful delicious 😋😋 and very yummy I was looking for a beef stew video as it is our Winter and it is freezing cold so I am looking for gir not curry dishes to make to try and keep warm thank you so much Mathew Francis @ All Recipes👍👍😀😀🌹🌹❤️❤️😋😋
Whoops! I didn’t watch all the way through and jumped the gun and added the carrots and yukon golds!! Beef stew is a regular for us in Alaska in the winter. Looks great, we’ ll see with my premature veggie additions!!
I’m using your recipe right now. I only have fresh thyme and Italian seasoning. 😒 and I’m braising on the stove instead. I also don’t have one of those fancy pots you have so I’m using not stick pot. I couldn’t get that nice stuff that was stuck on your pot. 😞 I am anxiously waiting now.... slow cooking is killing me. But I want good results. 😃
Two years later, I am making this again but slow braising for 3-4 hours on my stove and used chicken stock instead. OMG. Came out delicious. Thank you!
This is the first time I subscribed to anything.but I can understand u good and the food looks great.ill keep coming back. Maybe u can suggest,some spices that are regularly?
I just made beef stew from memory. Boy do I suck. Thank you. The next time I I will go to anything make anything I’m gonna go to your website and do it properly my beef stew is so sad I don’t even want to serve it to my husband. Although he would eat anything and be never criticize me. I’m the one that says this sucks and then he will politely agree. He will eat anything I make because its not takeout

Could you explain what flouring the meat does?

Sounds yummy. How did it turn out?
@@11candy11 I have to say it was awesome. Had some crusty Italian bread 🥖 and a glass of red wine 🍷 with it. I think my mom would be proud lol

Not only in the United Sates and Europe, also in South America, even more popular than the countries you mention. Excellent recipe. congratulations.

I am making this recipe for the 2nd time now. My wife loves it and wanted me to cook it for her birthday.

It's one o'clock in the morning and now I am starving for beef stew 🤣👍👍🇺🇸
Lol
Take care this winter everyone !!!
Love this guy Matthew he always give really clear instructions and reasoning behind the method. I subscribed to his channel.
Thank you! I also have hundreds more recipe videos on my own personal channel you may enjoy as well! happy cooking! :)
yeah Sub to his channel
I love how he’s like “I add in some fresh peas” but then they are frozen😂😅
Haha yes! that's my bad! I meant to say "fresh or frozen." Most people only have frozen at home. not fresh. But even frozen peas basically warm-up in seconds in the hot stew. so both work great!

They’re actually the same thing fresh and then immediately frozen, no difference, lighten up
Yeah
This was Delicious, only thing i added was a tablespoon and a half of Worcestershire sauce to the beef broth.
I watched this video a couple of days ago and made this today. This stew is 🔥 👨🚒 🚒 🧯. I cooked it on top of my range, stirring every 15 min on low medium low heat.
I love it when you post these cooking videos! You have such a great way of cooking and narrating as you go. This beef stew looks amazing!
Wow Thanks Claire! that's very kind of you! happy cooking!
Am l the only one who thinks his lisp is insanely cute!? Great end result! l just love it.🌟👍🌹💖😋
haha thank you! I like it too.
Adorable
@@torialexis19 thank you. :)
I was thinking the same thing! Adorable. Great video!
@@Callmegrandma awww I'm glad i can be of service haha.
great recipe! Thank you. Lard or beef tallow is superior to any oil for frying though. And much healthier.

I like looking at the seasoned carrots, I sometimes imagine spooging in them!
I'm doing it Buddy, with a few variations.
So far it's coming up a treat.
Love your work.....
I always add a bit of sugar to enhance the flavour and a bit of soy sauce to mine. Believe me it might sound a bit strange but it tastes even better!
I love your enthusiasm and it did turn out wonderful. Would be helpful if you said how much of each ingredient you were adding. I figured 2-3 cups broth by watching you pour etc… but amount during video would be nice.
My favorite Beef Stew Recipe! I find I have to add my potatoes in a little earlier . Thank you for the video!
This looks and sounds more like my Mom's beef stew than any other recipe I've ever seen and trust me I have been searching for it for years. I must try this ASAP! Thank you for sharing!
wow! that's high praise! thank you! I hope you enjoy making it!

Everybody slightly differs with their stew but this particular recipe looks just great !

What does one do if there's more meat to be seared?
Do we repeat step 1 in the same pan , adding more oil?
BTW, that does look good!
Looks great 👍 Michael...I just got my slow cooker today... but I have a dutch oven too... your recipe looks the best to me... so I'm going to try your recipe tomorrow... thanks...
Omg this looks so delicious! Beef stew is one my all time favorite dishes and I will be trying this recipe next time I make it! Love your videos!
I love food and I've worked with chefs in the restaurant industry and I have to say this is a good informative video it was fun to watch
Making this now! I love that dark color of the stew! Thanks for the recipe
Yes ... This cute guy makes it exactly the way this classic comfort food should be done. I wish we could enjoy eating it together.
Well today was my 11th time making this stew and it came out great again. The hour and a half in the oven is definitely the secret.
This looks good and Rich what kind of red wine? will red wine vinaigrette do? I have that in the cabinet now or should I buy another kind of red wine?
OMG that looks amazing! We don't drink, so no wine, but the rest yes. I made my beef stew a few weeks ago. Yes, it's 90° in Texas, but we have a/c so what the heck.
Nice video man! Very clearly explained and easy to follow.
I Sautee my onion and garlic 1st in the pan before I add the meat. Gives a bit better flavour.
I love Beef Stew this time of Year. Thanks Mathew 🤗
you're welcome! happy cooking! :)
Why wait 'til winter? It's 90 degrees outside and I'm making beef stew as we speak!
This looks beautiful delicious 😋😋 and very yummy I was looking for a beef stew video as it is our Winter and it is freezing cold so I am looking for gir not curry dishes to make to try and keep warm thank you so much Mathew Francis @ All Recipes👍👍😀😀🌹🌹❤️❤️😋😋
What are the measurements like for the red wine
Quite a while ago. Off to the kitchen now to prepare for my classic stew. Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦
Wow your ingredients were great!
Awesome recipe I'm doing this today. Thanks :)
Wow this is appetizing thanks for sharing the recipe will do it
Yum! Great job Matt, you always make cooking look simple & easy 😎
thanks! glad you enjoyed it!
The last time I had it maybe a couple of months ago. But I used coconut water instead of red wine and it tasted good too.
watched 10 vids and this is the best vid. thanks!!
Thank you for this. It looks fab. Will be making this. xx
This looks great. I just wish you included amounts and temperatures. Even rough estimates would have helped
So.. for us non alcoholics, what is a good substitute for the red wine.
You are adorable! Thank you for this awesome recipe!
Made beef stew in my crockpot yesterday so yummy different recipe but going try this one next ty
Hi just want to ask i don't have red wine to add in the beef stew. Is there any substitute to red wine to add in the beef stew?
Hi what can you use other than wine?
What's a good red wine to use?
Can I use sirloin ( it’s all
I have ). Thanks
I need measurements...
Great recipe, will be making that tomorrow. Yummy
Respect to this Recipe Matthew . Made it a few times. Always a hit with the gf 🥳
I liked how he talked clearly, slow enough for me to catch and take notes as I don’t see recipe?
I tried to come up with a classic beef pun here.. But it wound up sounding kind of *stew*-pid!
I don’t have a Dutch oven. How long would I cook it in a pot on the stove and at what setting on an electric burner?
any big pot will probably work just fine, and from the looks of it he's using medium to medium high heat
It's sounds great, I'm cooking this. Thxs 👋
Wow THAT looks like the BEST beef stew EVER!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤NOT for a while....but mine NEVER looked that good.......😋 yummy!!!!!!!🤗❤❤❤❤
it was delicious! i hope you try and make it sometime! :)
Whoops! I didn’t watch all the way through and jumped the gun and added the carrots and yukon golds!! Beef stew is a regular for us in Alaska in the winter. Looks great, we’ ll see with my premature veggie additions!!
