Baked Beef Stew
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup flour, or as needed
  • 3/4 pound cubed beef stew meat
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its optimal temperature setting of 300 degrees Fahrenheit (equivalent to 150 degrees Celsius).
2
Take a generous amount of flour and place it in a shallow, wide dish. Gently coat the beef pieces with the flour, ensuring that they are evenly covered and excess powder is shaken off.
3
Heat a substantial quantity of oil in an oven-safe, deep container to extremely high temperatures. Sear the beef cubes in batches on all sides until they achieve a rich, brown color, approximately 5 minutes per batch. Transfer the beef to a clean plate.
4
Add sliced onions, chopped celery, and grated carrots to the casserole dish. Lower the heat to a moderate level and cook until these vegetables are tender, around 5 minutes. Introduce minced garlic into the mixture and cook for an additional minute. Pour in a flavorful liquid broth. Reinsert the beef pieces into the casserole dish and stir in a few fragrant bay leaves. Cover the container with a lid.
5
Place the prepared casserole in the preheated oven and allow it to cook until the meat is tender, spanning 1.5 to 2 hours. Remove the bay leaves before serving and season with salt and pepper to taste.
