01 Step

Recipe View In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the beef stew meat and flour. Seal the bag and shake well to coat the beef evenly. (2 minutes)

Image Step 02
02 Step

Recipe View In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter with the olive oil over high heat. Add the beef to the pot in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding) and season with seasoned salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is seared on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

03 Step

Recipe View Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in enough of the beef broth to cover the bottom of the pot and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. (3 minutes)

04 Step

Recipe View Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the remaining beef broth, carrots, potatoes, celery, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, basil, paprika, and garlic powder. (2 minutes)

Image Step 05
05 Step

Recipe View Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer the stew for 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat and vegetables are very tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (3-4 hours)

For an even richer flavor, consider adding a bay leaf or a sprig of fresh thyme to the stew during simmering. Remove before serving.
If the stew becomes too thick during simmering, add a little more beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
This stew tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a smoother sauce, you can whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
To make this stew in a slow cooker, sear the beef and sauté the onions as directed in steps 2 and 3. Then, transfer all ingredients to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
