2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. diced onion
1/2 c. flour
2 tsp paprika
4 c. beef broth
1 c. warm water
1 (15 ounces) can tomato sauce
1/4 tsp dried thyme

HOW TO MAKE POTATO GNOCCHI BEEF STEW
Step 1: In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over high heat. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the beef in batches to the pot and sear until both sides are brown. Transfer the beef to a plate. Set aside and keep the beef warm.
Step 2: To the pot, add the butter, onions, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the onions have softened. Then, stir in the flour and paprika.
Step 3: Stir in the warm water, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring everything to a simmer until the mixture has thickened. Next, pour in the beef broth and add the tomato sauce, thyme, bay leaves, cloves, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Step 4: Add the beef back to the pot. Put the lid on and continue to simmer for another 2 hours over low heat, stirring often. Now, add the carrots and simmer the stew for 30 to 45 minutes more or until the carrots are tender. About 5 to 10 minutes before serving, stir in the gnocchi.
Step 5: Stir in the balsamic vinegar and fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
