How To Make oven baked beef stew
-
1Pour the wine over the beef in a glass or ceramic bowl (metal will give the wine an \"off\" taste).
-
2Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours to marinate.
-
3Reserving the marinade, drain the beef and dry on paper towels.
-
4Simmer the bacon for 10 minutes in enough water to cover.
-
5Drain and pat dry (this rids the bacon of smokiness and some fat).
-
6In a dutch oven, saute the bacon in olive oil over medium heat until crisp.
-
7Drain on paper towels.
-
8Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings.
-
9Working in small batches so the meat browns well, brown the beef cubes in the bacon drippings.
-
10With a slotted spoon, remove each batch to a bowl.
-
11Saute the onions and carrots in the drippings until wilted and beginning to brown, about 7 minutes.
-
12Remove with a slotted spoon to the bowl of meat.
-
13Heat 3 cups of broth in a saucepan.
-
14Pour out any drippings that remain in the dutch oven.
-
15Melt the butter over medium heat in the dutch oven, then stir in the flour.
-
16Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatula to keep the mixture moving.
-
17When the paste is a dark golden brown, stir in the broth.
-
18Simmer a minute or two, then stir in the tomato paste, salt, pepper and garlic.
-
19Add the sauteed vegetables and meat and stir in the reserved wine marinade.
-
20Quickly bring to a boil.
-
21Cover and bake in a preheated 325 oven for about 2 hours.
-
22If the sauce gets too thick, thin it with the extra cup of broth.
-
23TO SERVE AFTER FREEZING: Thaw according to recommendations.
-
24Reheat in a covered casserole at 325 for about 20 minutes, or until bubbly.
-
25You might add freshly cooked vegetables (mushrooms, baby carrots and steamed potatoes).
