For a long time, I have wanted to add some flair to my Simply Beef Stew recipe, which we love. Who doesn't love one pot meals? You might say that this stew is a layer and layers of flavors all in one pot.
The stew begins with the beef coated with flour and seasonings. Then I add onions, fennel, and carrot, then onto the butternut squash and potatoes, and ending with a slow simmer with a bay leaf and sprigs of thyme.
What else can I say, this Beef Stew with Butternut Squash and Fennel is a wonderfully aromatic dish that can feed any one's love for comfort food! The recipe for those cute little biscuits is here!
Beef Stew with Butternut Squash and Fennel
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lbs. beef stew meat
- 1/4-12 cup flour
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons salt
- teaspoon coarse ground pepper
- 1 1/2-2 cups chopped onions
- 1 bulb fennel, sliced thin
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 2 cups butternut squash, cubed
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 fresh thyme sprig(or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 or 2 bay leaves
- 1-2 cups homemade beef broth (or canned)
- 1 cup of wine
When the oil is hot, sear the meat for 2 to 3 minutes stirring occasionally.
Remove browned meat from pot; set aside. Add onions and saute for 2 minutes.
Add the fennel and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes.
Add the garlic, butternut squash to the pan, stir and cook 5-10 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with broth. Add the browned meat back into the broth along with the potatoes.
Add the thyme and bay leaves. Bring the stew up to a boil, cover and reduce to a simmer.
Simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is very tender. If the liquid get to low add more beef broth or wine.
