Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 4 large carrots, chopped
• 4 large potatoes, chopped
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups beef broth (or Better Than Bouillon)
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp flour
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Get the Grill Ready

Start by firing up the Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling.

Prepare the Beef

1. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the butter and 2 tbsp of olive oil on the flat cooktop.
3. Sear the beef cubes on the center grill grate for a few minutes on each side to lock in the juices.
4. Move the seared beef to the flat cooktop and cook until browned all over.

Prepare the Vegetables

1. Toss the carrots, potatoes, and onions in 1 tbsp of olive oil.
2. Place the vegetables on the flat cooktop and grill until they are tender and slightly charred.

Prepare the Stew Base

1. In a grill-safe pot, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
2. Stir in the tomato paste and flour, cooking for another 2 minutes.
3. Add the beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer.

Combine and Cook

1. Add the seared beef and grilled vegetables to the pot.
2. Simmer the stew on the flat cooktop for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the beef is tender and the flavors are well combined.  If you have the optional grill grate riser, use that.  Using the raised grill grate will give you a deeper smoky flavor. Hmmm, delicious!
3. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.  Instead of using salt and pepper, you can also use your favorite steak seasoning (I like McCormicks).

Serve

1. Garnish with fresh parsley.
2. Serve immediately.

Tips

• Use different heat zones on the flat cooktop to control the cooking temperature and achieve an even sear.
• Let the stew rest for a minute before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
• Adjust the seasoning to your preference by adding more salt or pepper.

Conclusion

Enjoy your perfectly seared and flavorful grilled beef stew meal, a true grilling masterpiece. This recipe guarantees a rich, hearty result every time you fire up your Arteflame grill.
