A comforting and flavorful beef stew made with succulent beef, aromatic spices, and pearl onions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup pearl onions, peeled
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups tomatoes, diced (or 1 can of diced tomatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. Sear the Beef: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef chunks and brown on all sides, ensuring each piece is perfectly seared to lock in those juicy flavors.
  2. Soften the Pearl Onions and Garlic: Next, add the pearl onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions become soft and translucent, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
  3. Introduce the Sweetness of Tomatoes and Warm Spices: Stir in the diced tomatoes, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. This step brings a delightful sweetness and warmth to the stew that will envelop you as it simmers.
  4. Pour in the Elixir: Pour in the red wine and beef broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. The wine adds depth, enriching the stew with complex flavors that promise a fantastic finish.
  5. Simmer to Perfection: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender. This slow cooking process is where the magic happens—flavors meld and deepen, creating a dish that’s hearty and satisfying.
  6. Serve the Stew: Serve hot, ideally with crusty bread for dipping or over a fluffy bed of rice that will soak up all those delicious juices. Enjoy every last spoonful!

Notes
