Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a bowl, season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. Add the flour and toss to coat the beef evenly.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes on all sides. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Transfer the browned beef to the clay baker.
-
In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the carrots and celery to the skillet, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
-
Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
-
Add the beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, and thyme to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
-
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the clay baker, ensuring the meat is submerged in the liquid.
-
Cover the clay baker with its lid and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for 2-3 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.
-
Once the stew is done cooking, check the seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
-
Remove the bay leaves and discard them.
-
Serve the Clay Baker Beef Stew hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
