For a richer flavor, consider browning the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. You can add other vegetables to the stew, such as celery, parsnips, or turnips. For a deeper flavor profile, use beef broth instead of water. A bay leaf or a sprig of thyme added during the simmering process can elevate the stew's aroma. Adjust seasoning according to your preference. A dash of Worcestershire sauce can add umami depth.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
10 mins
In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, brown the stewing meat in vegetable oil. (Approximately 10-15 minutes). Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour into the pot, stirring continuously until well incorporated and a light roux forms. (Approximately 2-3 minutes).
02
Step
6 mins
Fill the stock pot with water, adjusting the amount to your desired stew consistency. For a thicker stew, use less water; for a more diluted stew, fill the pot almost to the top. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let the meat cook until tender, checking the water level periodically and adding more as needed. (Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes).
03
Step
5 mins
Once the beef is tender, add the diced potatoes, carrots, and beefy mushroom soup to the pot. Stir to combine. Increase heat to medium and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 30-45 minutes.
04
Step
1 hrs 30 mins
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the stew, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the stew has thickened to your liking. If a thicker consistency is desired, mix another small amount of cornstarch and water and add it to the stew.
