Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

In a large oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Add the beef to the hot oil in batches, searing until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium. Add the onions to the pot and sauté for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 7

Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.

Step 8

Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 9

Stir in the gluten-free beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf.

Step 10

Return the seared beef to the pot along with any juices that have accumulated.

Step 11

Mix the gluten-free flour with a little water to create a slurry and stir it into the pot to thicken the sauce.

Step 12

Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 13

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 14

Bake for 1.5 hours or until the beef is tender.

Step 15

Remove the pot from the oven and add the diced potatoes and frozen peas.

Step 16

Return the uncovered pot to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 17

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 18

Serve the casserole hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
