Steak Stew with Red Wine Sauce
Get ready to enjoy a delightful steak and veggie stew that's bursting with flavor!
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 carrots roughly chopped
- 2 ribs celery thinly sliced
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 8 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic diced
- 3-4 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak (trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2½ cups beef broth
- 6 cups water
- ½ cup red wine (cabernet sauvignon, merlot, burgundy, pinot noir, red blend, or zinfandel)
- 1 Tbsp Montreal Steak seasoning
- 10 oz frozen mixed vegetables (1 package)
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes (halved)
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until hot. Add carrots, celery, onion, and two tablespoons of butter. Sauté the vegetables until almost tender, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic; stir and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer vegetables to a plate; set aside.
- Add the bite-sized steak pieces to the pot and cook, stirring often, until the meat is brown. Transfer the browned meat to the same plate as the vegetables and discard any rendered fat. Wipe out the pot with a paper towel.
- In the same pot, melt the rest of the butter and whisk in 1 cup of flour until smooth to make a roux. Cook over medium heat until the flour mixture is darker and thicker. Whisk in the beef broth, water, and wine, stirring until smooth. *Don't worry if your roux turns out a little purple! It's perfectly normal and nothing to be concerned about.
- Add the Montreal Seasoning, frozen vegetables, and the tomatoes. Bring to a boil, stirring often, over medium heat, then reduce heat to low.
- Add the sauteéd vegetables and beef back, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened and the frozen vegetables have softened.
- Let the stew simmer for 2-3 hours to bring out all those delicious flavors! It’s perfect to enjoy with warm, crusty bread and a refreshing, crisp green salad. Bon appétit!
Notes
- If you're not into wine, substitute a little extra beef broth. It’ll work just fine!
- Feel free to skip the Montreal Steak seasoning or switch it up with some Herbs de Provence instead!
