Gluten Free Beef Stew

This hearty stew builds deep flavor the classic way: chuck roast seared until deeply browned, then simmered slowly with carrots, celery, and baby potatoes until everything turns fork-tender. Tomato paste and smoked paprika get toasted into the vegetables before a splash of dry red wine deglazes the pot, and gluten free flour helps thicken the broth into that rich, glossy stew consistency you want to spoon over a big bowl. Fresh thyme and bay leaf infuse the broth as it simmers low and slow for over an hour, letting the beef break down until it shreds effortlessly. A scatter of sliced scallions on top adds a fresh, bright finish to balance all that deep, savory richness. It's the kind of low-and-slow, one-pot meal that's just as good the next day, and it fits neatly into a gluten free rotation without sacrificing any of that classic, cozy stew flavor.

½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine (such as cabernet sauvignon or merlot)
3 cups beef broth
2 tbsp gluten free flour
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
½ tsp smoked paprika
4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and pepper. Drying the surface helps the meat brown rather than steam.
2
Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, add the beef in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply browned on at least two sides. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and repeat with the remaining batch.
