Creamy Beef and Potato Stew with Kale

A hearty and comforting stew made with tender beef, potatoes, and fresh kale in a creamy, flavorful broth. Perfect for a cozy dinner on chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs (680 g) beef stew meat, cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 2 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear beef cubes until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to thicken.
  4. Return beef to the pot along with potatoes, beef broth, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 1 1/2 hours until beef is tender.
  5. Stir in cream and chopped kale. Simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes until kale is wilted and stew is creamy.
  6. Remove bay leaf, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute cream with milk or coconut milk.
  • This stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen.
  • Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
