Recipes..Beef Stew yummy

Ingredients
2 lbs beef chuck cubed
salt
pepper
1/2 large onion
5 cloves garlic
water
1 cup red wine
1 bay leaf
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
28 ounce canned whole tomatoes
1/2 tbsp sugar
3 medium red potatoes
2 stalks carrots
2 tsp cornflour
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut up carrots, potatoes, onions and celery. Set aside

Cut up beef chuck into 2-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper

Heat dutch oven with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once oil is warm and bubbly, bring beef to dutch oven to sear. Turn beef to make sure all sides are seared well. Do this in batches so that beef do not overlap each other in pan when searing

Bring all seared beef back to the dutch oven. Add 3-4 cups of water, red wine, bay leaf, thyme, smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and bring to boil

After coming to a boil, bring dutch oven to medium low heat and simmer for 90 minutes. Check at the 45 minute mark on dryness. If liquid level looks very low, add 1/2 cup of water at a time

Add 1 can of whole tomatoes and sugar. Break tomatoes into halves and stir.

Add potatoes, carrots and celery. Bring dutch oven to boil and then take it to medium low heat and simmer for another 60 minutes. 

Take 1/2 cup of just the liquid from the stew out and mix it with 2 tsp of cornflour. Stir to dissolve cornflour and then pour it back to the pot. Bring to boil and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes.

Add salt and pepper to taste if desired

Serve and enjoy!
