Honestly held off trying this for awhile because of the time commitment and steps, I figured the payoff would be minimal but it is one of the best beef stews I have ever had and that was the consensus opinion.

I just pulled the whole carrots/onion halfs/etc out of mine for the last step after adding the potatos and veggies back. First time, can’t wait!

My favorite Kenji recipe. It’s so rich and deep in flavor.

I tried this for the first time last week and was blown away by the flavor. I couldn’t find the pearl onions, but it didn’t matter. I ended up eating it 5 days in a row!

All right, adding this to the list. I also hadn’t made it yet because of the commitment!

Literally just made this today!
Question. I forgot to flour the beef, and with 90min to go I decided not to try to thicken it up. Resulting stew still great, but a little thin for my taste. What would y’all have done?

I consider beef stew one of my specialties — some great ideas in here that I’ll incorporate:
– veggies browned in Dutch oven. Separate veggies is a worthwhile step and this makes it easy – brown meat as steaks. Makes sense and is low effort – use chicken stock – I get it
Things I won’t do: – Yukons + gelatin vs russet. I’ll use russet and no gelatin, and hope the 2 cancel out. Keeps things streamlined and I just like russets. – blender for umami. I do dishes so I’ll have to live with just adding these ingredients unblended.
