Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef stew meat
• 1 cup Wild rice
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 3 medium Carrots
• 1 large Yellow onion

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil if needed, and brown the beef stew meat on all sides. This should take about 5 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 2

Dice the onion and slice the carrots into rounds. Add them to the pot and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and the carrots begin to soften.

Step 3

Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 60 minutes to tenderize the beef.

Step 4

While the stew simmers, rinse the wild rice under cold water to remove excess starch. After the first hour of simmering, add the wild rice to the pot and stir well.

Step 5

Continue simmering the stew for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender and has absorbed the flavors of the broth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy this comforting Montana Wild Rice Beef Stew!
