Beef Stew
Jason Wyche

Not the usual beef stew, this one contains sweet corn and fresh rosemary. To trim prep time, substitute 1 1/2 cups peeled baby carrots (bagged in plastic at supermarket produce counters) for chunked carrots and frozen whole-kernel corn for fresh. Corn is a vegetable that freezes well and the frozen is often sweeter than what you would buy at the farmers market.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck, trimmed of excess fat and cut in 1-inch cubes
  • ¾ cup unsifted all-purpose flour mixed with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (seasoned flour)
  • 3 tablespoons bacon drippings or vegetable oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, halved lengthwise and each half thinly sliced
  • 1 large whole bay leaf (preferably fresh)
  • 1 small sprig fresh rosemary or ½ teaspoon crumbled dried leaf rosemary
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 6 golf-ball-size redskin potatoes, peeled or unpeeled
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut in 1-inch chunks (see tips above)
  • 2 medium celery stalks, trimmed and thinly sliced (include a few leaves)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen yellow corn kernels (see tips above)

DIRECTIONS

Dredge beef, a few pieces at a time, by shaking in a large plastic zipper bag with seasoned flour and set aside.

Heat drippings in a large heavy Dutch oven over moderately high heat until ripples appear on pan bottom — 1 ½-2 minutes. Brown dredged beef in several batches in drippings, allowing about 10 minutes per batch and lifting each to a bowl as it browns.

Add onion, bay leaf, and rosemary to pot and sauté, stirring often, until onion is lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.

Return beef to pot along with accumulated juices, add broth, and bring to a boil. Adjust heat so liquid bubbles gently, cover, and simmer until beef is nearly tender — about 1½  hours.

Add potatoes, carrots, and celery, and if broth seems skimpy, a little more broth or water. Cover and simmer until beef and carrots are tender, 40-45 minutes more.

Add corn, cover, and simmer just until corn no longer tastes raw and flavors mellow — about 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf and rosemary sprig, taste for salt and pepper, and adjust as needed.

Ladle into heated large soup plates and serve; no accompaniments necessary for this dinner-in-a-dish.
