Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cups Beef Broth
  • 1 pkg frozen peas and carrots about 2 cups
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened.
  • Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the beef and stir to combine, allowing it to cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  • Pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the frozen peas and carrots to the pot.
  • Season the stew with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  • Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a thicker stew, you can let it simmer uncovered for a few more minutes.
  • Serve the hamburger stew hot in bowls. It pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
