Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 8 ounce mushrooms sliced
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 2 stalk celery diced
  • 4 cup beef broth

  • Remove beef from the pot and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add onions and garlic and sauté until soft.
  • Stir in mushrooms, carrots, and celery and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add beef broth, diced tomatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot.
  • Return the beef to the pot and bring to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl, mix flour and water to create a slurry.

Notes

For best results, ensure that the vegetables are cut uniformly for even cooking. Adjust the seasoning to taste, especially the salt and pepper, as the flavors meld together during simmering. If a thicker stew is desired, more flour slurry can be added gradually while simmering.
