Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Coating

  • 1 pound beef stew cubes
  • 1/4 cup flour (to coat the beef cubes)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf

Liquids

  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 3 cups beef broth

Others

  • 1 bag of Holy Perogy! (frozen perogies)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Flour Coating: In a large Ziploc bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. This mixture will be used to coat the beef cubes evenly to help them brown nicely.
  2. Heat the Oil: In a large Dutch oven, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat to prepare for browning the beef.
  3. Coat and Brown the Beef: Place the beef stew cubes into the flour mixture bag and shake until well coated. Shake off excess flour and add the meat pieces to the hot oil. Brown the beef cubes thoroughly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once browned, remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Add the remaining olive oil if needed, then add the garlic to the pan and cook for about one minute until fragrant.
  5. Cook Onions: Add the chopped onions and cook for another minute until they start softening and becoming translucent.
  6. Deglaze with Red Wine: Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Let the wine simmer until it reduces slightly, concentrating its flavor.
  7. Add Broth: Pour in the beef broth to the pan to create the stew base.
  8. Return Beef: Return the browned beef cubes back to the pan along with the liquid.
  9. Add Vegetables: Add the chopped carrots and celery to the stew mixture.
  10. Season and Simmer: Add the bay leaf and additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together then reduce heat and let the stew simmer gently for one hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to develop deep flavors.
  11. Cook Perogies: After the stew has simmered, add the frozen perogies to the pot. Bring the stew back to a boil and cook the perogies for about 5 minutes until they are tender and heated through.

Notes

  • The beef stew cubes should be cut into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, mix the teaspoon of corn starch with a little cold water and stir it in at the end, cooking until the stew thickens.
  • You can substitute the red wine with additional beef broth if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
  • Using a Dutch oven helps distribute heat evenly and maintain steady simmering.
  • Frozen perogies should be cooked directly from frozen, no need to thaw beforehand.
