Recipe For Beef Stew Spanish Style
Cheap, easy, and comforting -- Spanish beef stew is a delicious and hearty meal that is simple to prepare. If you're a fan of impressive one-pot dinners, this is the recipe for you.
Every country has its version of beef stew, and Spain is no different. Spanish beef stew is also known as Spanish beef
My Spanish mother-in-law makes her beef stew often. She uses cheap cuts of beef (like beef chuck) and a handful of vegetables (onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrot). She finishes the stew off with diced potatoes, added only at the end so they don't overcook.

I've adapted her classic recipe here to share what I consider the best and most classic Spanish style beef stew you'll find. It's super easy to make and just takes patience as you wait for the meat to become tender. It's worth it -- I promise!
You can get many of the delicious flavors of beef stew without the meat by using an assortment of meaty mushrooms instead. I love giant portobellos and oyster mushrooms, for example.
For this adaptation you would not need such a long cook time -- 30 minutes should do and you can add the potatoes at the same time as the mushrooms.

Like most good stews, this Spanish beef stew is pretty quick to prepare, though the hard part is waiting for it to finish cooking. Low and slow is the name of this game -- it's tough, but worth the wait!
Steps 1-2: Begin by sprinkling salt and pepper over your beef. Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy pot (I used a Dutch oven) and when hot add the beef in batches and sear on all sides. Remove each piece once well seared.
Steps 3-4: Now add the diced bell pepper, onions, and garlic and sauté over a medium heat. Keep cooking, allowing the vegetables to become tender and browned (but don't let them burn). Add a splash of water if necessary.

Steps 5-7: Now add the diced carrots and the wine. Let the wine reduce by two thirds, and then add back the seared beef and cover with water (or beef stock).
Steps 8-10: Cover the stew and cook on a low simmer for 1.5 hours. Then add the diced potatoes, and cook uncovered for about 20 minutes longer, or until the potatoes are cooked through. Taste and adjust for salt.
Your stew is ready to eat! If you'd like to thicken the sauce, remove a ladleful of broth and veggies (no meat) and puree it in your blender and then add back to the stew.

Beef stew goes well with a lighter side dish. Salads and green vegetables (such as roasted asparagus or brussel sprouts) would make a great choice. A hearty baguette or similar bread is also recommended for sopping up any extra sauce.
A hearty red wine is the perfect wine pairing for beef stew -- a Spanish Rioja or Ribera del Duero wine would be excellent. If you can find Toro where you live, it would also make a great choice. And if you like sherry wine, serve beef stew with a hearty Oloroso sherry.
Beef stew makes a delicious and hearty meal and doesn't need much else to accompany it. But I always serve it with a hearty baguette (a must here in Spain) and often with a green salad to cut through the stew's richness. You can make a simple ensalada mixta or try my winter salad recipe.
