Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to create this mouthwatering stew:

2 cups leftover ribeye steak, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 lb (450g) potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cups (960ml) beef broth
1 cup (240ml) red wine (optional, but adds depth of flavor)
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preparation

Before you start cooking, make sure to prepare your ingredients. Slice the leftover ribeye into thin strips, dice the onion, mince the garlic, and peel and chop the vegetables. Having everything ready will make the cooking process smoother.

Sauté the vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Add the potatoes and beef

Stir in the cubed potatoes and sliced ribeye. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the beef to brown slightly and the potatoes to absorb some of the flavors.

Simmer the stew

Pour in the beef broth and red wine (if using). Add the tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Thicken the stew (optional)

If you prefer a thicker stew, mix 2 tbsp of cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water in a small bowl. Slowly pour the mixture into the stew while stirring gently. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the stew has reached your desired consistency.

Serve and enjoy

Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle the Leftover Ribeye Stew into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve with crusty bread or a side of dinner rolls. Enjoy your delicious and hearty meal!
