Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1/2-inch cubes Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 medium onion, sliced lengthwise 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth 1/2 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice 2 cups egg noodles 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley 1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar

Directions

In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over high. Add beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until seared and brown, about 6 minutes. Add onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook until onion begins to soften (reducing heat, if necessary), about 5 minutes. Stir in flour until beef and onion are coated and cook 1 to 2 minutes (do not burn). Add broth and 3 cups water, stirring and scraping up browned bits. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until beef is tender, about 25 minutes.

Add carrots and potatoes and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add noodles and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, stir in parsley and vinegar.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       08/25/2017   This is my go-to recipe for beef stew. I change it up a bit to suit my tastes, but it's delicious when prepared according to the recipe. I'm not a great cook, so I look for recipes that are "user-friendly". This beef stew recipe is easy to follow and hard to mess up. The result was a meal that I felt resembled something that is normally prepared by a more experienced cook. I won't lie - I was impressed with myself! For anyone who's interested, here's a list of the changes I make: 1) I use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. This is purely subjective, but I think the taste of vegetable broth is more harmonious with the beef than the taste of chicken broth. 2) I throw in a cube of vegetable bouillon - it makes the flavor more robust! 3) Being an amateur cook, I use more oil than the recipe calls for - I'm far from a master chef, and using the amount dictated by the recipe resulted in slightly burnt beef in the past. 4) I use high-quality oil (my personal choice is any imported extra virgin olive oil). I feel that this contributes to the high-quality taste of the stew!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/05/2016   So simple and very tasty! I used 1/4 cup acini di pepe instead because I like less noodle. A few of us have been sick and this really hit the spot!!! Chicken broth goes really well with the beef.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/19/2012   Simply delicious and oh so easy! My family is sick with a cold and I wanted to whip up something to make them feel better. This was what the doctor ordered! 5/5  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/23/2010   I made this last night following the directions exactly. It was DELICIOUS! You must be sure to brown the beef well. I found it best to do it in smaller batches. It was very "beefy" tasting and my husband loved it. The leftovers tonight were even better.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/13/2010   Mine turned out lighter in color than the picture because I used chicken broth which I also thought was strange. Maybe the recipe is supposed to say beef broth?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/01/2009   Probably because every time I've gone shopping for low sodium broth, chicken is the only flavor that I can find in the store. You could also use a low sodium vegetable broth if you can find it.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/30/2009   Yes it can be made in a crock pot. Just cut the meat into a little larger pieces. Cook noodles first and add at the end.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/30/2009   Oh, I forgot also cut the veggies into a little larger pieces or they will melt. I would add beef boulion broth or cubes.
