Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 lb beef stewing meat
8 oz tomato sauce
3 cup beef stock
1 pkg Pioneer® Brown Gravy Mix
1 cup red wine
1 diced potato
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen carrots

Make this Homemade Beef Stew Recipe even richer and more satisfying with Pioneer Brown Gravy Mix, which builds the kind of deep, glossy broth that takes most recipes hours longer to develop.

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil

    In a medium sauce pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high flame.

  2. Sear the Beef

    Once oil is hot, sear the beef. Stir every couple of minutes.

  3. Add Tomato and Stock

    Cook out excess moisture from the meat and add tomato sauce and beef stock.

  4. Reduce by Half

    Reduce the mixture by half over high heat.

  5. Whisk Gravy and Wine

    Whisk together Pioneer Brown Gravy Mix and red wine. Whisk away any lumps.

  6. Add Gravy and Potatoes

    Add gravy mixture and potatoes to the pot and cook until thickened.

  7. Check Consistency

    Continue to cook over high heat, checking for consistency. You want the sauce to coat the meat.

  8. Fold In Vegetables

    Once the potatoes are done, turn heat to low and fold in frozen peas and carrots.

  9. Rest the Stew

    Let rest for 5 minutes to heat the vegetables all the way through.

  10. Serve and Enjoy

    Enjoy in a large casserole dish with the whole family!
