How to Make This Recipe Gluten-Free?

The beauty of this beef stew is that it’s incredibly easy to make gluten-free with just one simple swap. Traditional beef stew recipes use all-purpose flour to create a roux that thickens the broth, but you can easily substitute it with your favorite gluten-free flour blend. I’ve had great success with both store-bought gluten-free all-purpose flour mixes and alternative thickeners like cornstarch or arrowroot powder.

How to Store and Reheat?

This beef stew actually tastes even better the next day once all the flavors have had time to meld together, so don’t be afraid to make it ahead. Let the stew cool completely, then transfer it to airtight containers and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you want to meal prep for longer, this stew freezes beautifully for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy your leftovers, reheating is a breeze.

What to Serve With Your Gluten-Free Beef Stew?

My favorite way to serve it is with a thick slice of crusty gluten-free bread or gluten-free dinner rolls for soaking up all that delicious gravy! If you’re looking for something heartier, serve it over creamy mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower for a comforting, complete meal. A simple side salad with mixed greens and a light vinaigrette adds a fresh contrast to the rich stew.
