Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the Dutch oven on the stovetop. Drizzle the olive oil inside. Heat the oil over medium heat until hot.
2
While the oil is heating, pat the beef stew meat dry with paper towels. Season with sea salt and pepper.
3
Brown the meat in batches. Brown on every side. Place the meat on a plate.
4
Then, add in the chopped onions, garlic, and balsamic vinegar to the Dutch oven. Cook for 3 minutes. Stir to prevent burning.
5
Add in the tomato paste, browned beef, and gluten free flour to the Dutch oven. Stir and cook for 3 minutes.
6
Pour in the beef broth and water. Place the bay leaf inside. Place the cover on top and roast for 1 hour.
7
Then, remove from the oven. Add in the chopped carrots and potatoes. Place the lid back on top.
8
Return to the oven. Roast for another 2 hours or until the potatoes and carrots are fork tender and the meat is tender.
9
Lastly, ladle into bowls. Top with fresh thyme if desired.

The perfect winter night meal. I exchanged tomato paste for ketchup and used pearl onions instead of a yellow onion, but all together it tasted amazing. Every person cleared their plate! Will definitely be making this again soon!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Sear Beef in Batches for Golden Crust 🔥Don't overcrowd the Dutch oven when browning meat; work in batches to achieve a deep caramelized crust that builds exceptional flavor foundation for your stew.
- Bloom Tomato Paste for Depth 🍅Toast the tomato paste in the Dutch oven for 2-3 minutes before adding liquid to concentrate and intensify its umami flavors throughout the entire stew.
- Layer Vegetables Strategically ⏰Add harder vegetables like carrots and potatoes later than onions and garlic so they maintain their texture and don't become mushy during the long braise.
- Use Balsamic Vinegar as Final Flavor Balancer 🎯Stir in balsamic vinegar in the last 10 minutes of cooking to brighten the rich broth and add subtle sweetness that rounds out the savory depth without overpowering.
- Low-and-Slow Temperature Control 🌡️Maintain a gentle simmer at 200-210°F in your Dutch oven rather than a rolling boil to ensure beef becomes tender and creamy rather than tough and stringy.
