Beef and Potato Stew

• 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 potatoes, diced
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine (optional)
• 2 sprigs rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste

Recipe Notes:  A comforting beef stew made in your VAV GET Dutch Oven will become a staple. The even heat ensures the beef becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender while absorbing all the delicious flavors of the broth. You can also add parsnips or mushrooms for an extra touch of flavor.

Instructions:

• Heat the olive oil in your Dutch oven over medium-high heat and brown the beef stew meat.
• Remove the beef and set aside. In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion for 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute before adding the carrots, potatoes, broth, and wine (if using).
• Stir in rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
• Cover and cook in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender.
• Serve hot with crusty bread.
