NotesIngredient Substitutions
Beef Broth. In a pinch you can use chicken broth, but beef broth is definitely the best choice.
Balsamic Vinegar. make sure to use a high-quality balsamic vinegar that is thick, naturally sweet and pours like molasses (not watery).
All-purpose flour. an all-purpose gluten-free flour can be used to make this recipe gluten-free.
Minced garlic. fresh or jarred both work well. You can substitute 1 tsp garlic powder if you don’t have minced garlic on hand.
Stew Beef. Buying already cut beef stew meat makes this recipe so easy. You can purchase 2 pounds of chuck, round or sirloin and cube it yourself.
Onion. white, yellow or red onions all work well in this recipe.
Yukon Gold Potatoes. You can substitute red or russet potatoes, if desired.
Bay Leaves. Fresh or dried bay leaves both work well in this recipe.
Store/Freeze
Store leftover beef stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Reheat in a saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop, or in the microwave.

Reviews from the Original Source
Made this tonight and everyone loved it! I don’t have balsamic vinegar so I found a substitute of apple cider vinegar and maple syrup. It was a little too watery for my liking towards the end (even with the lid vented), so I made a cornstarch slurry and added that in for the last half hour. Thanks so much for the recipe!
