1. Prepare Sauce Base
Blend stock, tomato paste, anchovies or fish sauce, gelatin, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Set aside.
2. Sear Beef
Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high until shimmering. Season beef with salt and pepper; sear until browned, 10 minutes. Set beef aside.
3. Brown Vegetables
Cook mushrooms until browned, 6 minutes. Add diced carrots and pearl onions; brown, and set aside.
4. Brown Aromatics
Brown halved yellow onion, whole carrots, celery, and garlic in the Dutch oven, 4 minutes.
5. Deglaze
Pour in wine; deglaze by scraping browned bits. Reduce by 3/4, 3 minutes.
6. Simmer
Add broth mixture; bring to a simmer. Cut beef into chunks; toss with flour. Add beef, bay leaves, and thyme to the pot; simmer.
7. Oven Cook
Transfer to oven, lid ajar, until beef starts to tenderize, approximately 1.5 hours.
8. Add Potatoes and Vegetables
Discard spent vegetables and herbs. Add potatoes, mushrooms, diced carrots, and pearl onions; cook until tender, 45-60 minutes.
9. Final Touches
If needed, reduce on the stove. Stir in peas, season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, or store and reheat.
Create Boeuf Bourguignon, Irish Stew with stout beer, Hungarian Goulash with paprika, or a Curried Stew with coconut milk and curry spices.
Choose from lamb, chicken, vegetarian options with mushrooms and chickpeas, or fish like cod, adjusting herbs and cooking times for each.
Opt for a Root Vegetable Stew, a lighter Summer Vegetable Stew, or a hearty Winter Squash Stew, depending on the season.
Include tomato paste, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, or browned mushrooms to deepen the umami taste.
Add parsnips, sweet potatoes, or butternut squash, and consider roasting them first for extra flavor.
