How To Make cathy's beef stew

Step 1

Season the meat with salt and pepper and flour meat and brown in 2 batches. Transfer meat to a plate and repeat until all the meat is browned.

Step 2

Add onions until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook until they start to brown. Add carrots and continue to sautee veggies.
Step 3

Add garlic and thyme and 3 bay leaves. Stir until everything is mixed well and coated. Add about 2 Tablespoons of tomato paste and stir in until it becomes fragrant.
Step 4

Add 1 cup of wine. Make sure to scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the 3 cups of chicken broth. Simmer....
Step 5

After an hour I add the potatoes, stir well. Simmer...
Step 6

The last 1/2 hour I added the peas. I also thickened the stew with Wondra. You will have to judge how thick you want it) I just added about 2 tablespoons of wondra to about 1/2 cup of chicken broth I left aside and added it to the stew.
Step 7

In total I simmered my stew on the stove for about a total of 3-4 hours.
Step 8

Serve over buttered noodles, rice, or just eat it plain... either way its really good.
