Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Prep beef. Slice beef roast into 1-inch (bite-sized) cubes. Place in a shallow bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir to combine. Sprinkle over top the beef and use your hands to press into the meat to coat well.
Heat a dutch oven to medium-high heat on your stovetop. Add a Tablespoon of avocado oil and when hot, add half of the beef. Sear on one side and then stir to sear on the other, using a spatula to move the beef around in the pan. Remove meat to a bowl and then repeat with the second half of the beef. Remove the remaining beef.
Add a cup of beef broth to the pot to deglaze, using your spatula to stir the brown bits around for a minute or so. Add remaining broth, tomato sauce, and the curry paste and stir.
Then add the beef chunks back to the pot. Add the onions, carrots, ginger, and bay leaves to the pot, nestling them into the broth mixture. Cover with a lid.
Place the pot in the center rack of your preheated oven. Cook for two hours. Add the chopped potatoes and stir into the stew. Cook for another hour and a half, or until meat is fall-apart tender and the veggies are cooked through.
Notes
Store leftover beef stew in an airtight container or individual serving bowls for meal prep. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to reheat.
Freeze leftover stew for up to three months. We prefer to spoon leftovers into a freezer bag, squeeze the air out, seal, and lay flat in the freezer.
