Method
 

How to Make Homemade Beef Stew
  1. Season the beef chuck roast by generously sprinkling kosher salt and black pepper over the chunks.
  2. Dredge the seasoned beef in gluten-free flour until well-coated.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  4. Brown the beef in the pot on all sides for about 4-5 minutes per side.
  5. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Stir in the carrot and potatoes, mixing them well with the beef and onion combination.
  7. Pour in the beef broth, then add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low.
  9. Cook for several hours, around 2-3 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
  10. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.
