what cut of meat to use in the stew ~ get friendly with your butcher

Beef Tenderloin Stew with Potatoes and Mushrooms is a dinner that will impress without breaking the bank. Even though the recipe calls for beef tenderloin (a pricey cut of meat) only 1 ½ pounds makes 5 servings. Ask the butcher for the end cut or tail of the tenderloin. This portion of the meat is typically less expensive than the center cut filet portions. And sometimes it is as much as 50 percent less per pound.

suggestions and tips for tenderloin stew

  • After a quick sear of the beef tenderloin cubes, they are removed from the pan. 
  • Saute the onion, garlic, potatoes, carrots and mushrooms. This step adds richness to the stew.
  • Simmer the vegetables in a beefy sauce with fresh herbs, tomato paste (I love this one in the tube!), red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard.
  • Add the seared cubes of beef tenderloin to the pan along with bright green peas. Chopped parsley to give the stew a fresh taste.

Add a crusty loaf of bread. And a salad of crunchy romaine, halved cherry tomatoes and diced cucumber tossed with balsamic vinaigrette rounds out the meal.

how to make beef tenderloin stew in advance

Looking to get a jump start on dinner? Beef Tenderloin Stew with Potatoes and Mushrooms can be made in advance. Cool the hearty stew and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Gently reheat over low heat, adding more beef stock if the sauce is too thick. Just heat through the beef tenderloin and vegetables so the meat does not become tough.  Like most stews, the flavor is even better the next day.

If you make this favorite beef tenderloin stew of mine, I’d love hearing from you all. Be sure to leave a comment and/or give this recipe a rating ~ I do my best to reply to all your comments.

Description

Beef Tenderloin Stew with Baby Potatoes and Mushrooms is a chic one pot meal that adds flair to dinner. Typically, a traditional stew with cubed beef chuck roast, carrots and potatoes is cooked for a long time over low heat.  But this speedier version of a classic recipe will not keep the cook slaving over the stove all day long. It has all the flavor of its slow cooked counterpart with a fraction of the time spent in the kitchen.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 ½ pounds beef tenderloin cubes, about 1-inch each
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced, about 1 cup
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 12 small or baby potatoes, quartered, about 3 cups
  • 1 medium carrot, diced, about 1 cup
  • 10 ounces mushrooms, quartered, about 2 cups
  • 2 large sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Add to the pan and sear on each side for about a total of 3 to 4 minutes. You want the meat to be medium rare. Remove from pan and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining oil and the butter to the pan. Add the onion, garlic, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté the vegetables for 6 to 8 minutes or until the onions and mushrooms begin to soften. Stir frequently.
  3. Add the flour and tomato paste and stir until combined with the vegetables.
  4. Stir in the beef stock, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover the pot and continue cooking for 20 to 25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.  Stir the stew occasionally.
  5. Return the seared beef tenderloin to the pan and any accumulated juices along with the peas. Heat the stew through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • After a quick sear of the beef tenderloin cubes, they are removed from the pan. 
  • Saute the onion, garlic, potatoes, carrots and mushrooms. This step adds richness to the stew.
  • Simmer the vegetables in a beefy sauce with fresh herbs, tomato paste (I love this one in the tube!), red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard.
  • Add the seared cubes of beef tenderloin to the pan along with bright green peas. Chopped parsley to give the stew a fresh taste.
