Gluten-Free Hearty Beef Stew with Carrots, Pearl Onions & Potatoes

This flavorful gluten-free stew is great for a weeknight meal or a company dinner. It can be made in a Dutch oven or slow cooker. The flavors improve when it’s made a day ahead. If not eaten immediately, refrigerate until ready to serve; cover and reheat over medium heat or in a 350°F oven until warmed through.

Slow cooker instructions: I have a slow cooker that has a saute setting so I can do all of this in my slow cooker. If your slow cooker doesn’t have that function, simply saute the beef and then the onions and garlic in a saute pan on the stove before adding everything to the slow cooker. I usually cook on the high setting for 3 to 4 hours or until the meat is fork tender.

Ingredients

  • pounds boneless beef chuck , cut into 1½ -inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil , divided
  • 2 large or 3 medium yellow onions , cut into thin wedges (about 8 wedges per half)
  • 5 teaspoons crushed garlic
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • tablespoons tomato paste
  • ¼ cup rice flour or all-purpose gluten- free flour
  • 4 cups gluten-free beef broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 5 large carrots , peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks on a diagonal
  • 1 pound small red bliss or yellow potatoes , cut in half
  • 1 cup frozen or jarred pearl onions
  • Fresh chopped parsley or fresh thyme , for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Place rack in middle position.
  • Pat beef dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Brown meat in 3 batches, turning, about 5 minutes per batch, adding 1 tablespoon oil for each batch. Transfer meat to a large plate and set aside.
  • Add onions and garlic and sauté 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add vinegar and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape brown bits from bottom of pan, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook a few minutes more.
  • Return beef with juices to pan. Sprinkle with gluten-free flour and stir with a wooden spoon until flour is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add broth, bay leaves, thyme and sugar; stir to loosen any brown bits from the bottom of pan and bring to a simmer. Cover pot, transfer to preheated oven and braise 2 hours.
  • Remove pot from oven and add carrots and potatoes. Cover and return to oven and bake 50 to 60 minutes or until vegetables are cooked and meat is very tender. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Add onions and cook 10 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.

    I have made this recipe several times and my teenage grandson has requested I make it for the last 3 years for his birthday. I make it in a dutch oven. However, at the age of 70 and have RA it is very difficult to make it in Dutch oven. You mention it can also be made in a crockpot but there are no directions included. . Would you please send the directions to me. Thank you kindly.

      Hi Darla, great question. Sorry those instructions weren’t included. I will add them. Here’s what Beth said: I have a slow cooker that has a saute setting so I can do all of this in my slow cooker. If your slow cooker doesn’t have that function, simply saute the beef and then the onions and garlic in a saute pan on the stove before adding everything to the slow cooker. I usually cook on the high setting for 3 to 4 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
