Instructions

Season the beef with flour, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and browning sauce (if using).
In a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, sear the beef on all sides for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the celery, onions, and garlic to the Dutch oven and sauté until soft.
Stir in the tomato paste and beef base and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the wine, broth, and fresh herbs. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, add the potatoes and carrots and continue cooking on medium-low heat for an additional 30 to 45 minutes.
Once the beef is perfectly tender, garnish and serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or crunchy toast.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover beef stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
