Ingredients diff

  • 2 lb beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 2 Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps diff

  • Pat beef dry, season well, and brown in batches in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Cook onion and tomato paste until darkened slightly, then scrape up browned bits.
  • Return beef, add stock and bay leaf, and bring to a low simmer.
  • Cook partially covered until beef is almost tender, then add carrots and potatoes and continue until soft.
  • Taste, adjust seasoning, and rest 10 minutes before serving.

Technique notes diff

  • Pre-browning meat | Maillard browning adds savory complexity. | Stew flavor starts with a strong sear base.
  • Layered salting and staged reduction | Incremental seasoning and evaporation increase perceived depth without oversalting late. | Broth-forward dishes need flavor concentration before final texture adjustment.
