Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 9 oz. package vegan beef tips (like Gardein) OR use 10 oz. of Beyond Meat Plant-Based Steak Tips or 8 ounces of mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2-3 medium carrots, (about 1 1/2 - 2 cups) chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon all spice
  • 2-3 medium potatoes (about 2 cups) cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 3 cups broth use faux beef broth like Better than Bouillon No Beef Base, or any vegan mushroom or vegetable broth
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 the oil to the pan.
  2. Lightly brown vegan beef tips (and/or mushrooms) then remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add the rest of the oil to the pan and then add onions, celery, and carrots, cooking until translucent and softened- about 5 minutes or so. (If the pan starts to brown too much, add a bit of broth or water to deglaze the pan.)
  4. Add seasonings, flour, and garlic to the pan and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Slowly add wine and then broth while stirring.
  6. Add potatoes and peas and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 25 - 45 minutes, uncovered. Stew is done cooking when potatoes and carrots are fork tender and sauce is thickened.
  7. Return beef tips (and/or mushrooms) to the pan for a few minutes to heat through. Finish with a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
