A hearty and comforting Beef and Pierogi Stew featuring tender simmered beef and soft pierogies cooked together in a flavorful broth with onions. This easy one-pot meal combines rich beef flavor with the satisfying texture of pierogies, perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb beef chuck, cut into bite-sized cubes

Carbohydrates

  • 12 frozen pierogies (potato and cheese or your choice)

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, diced

Liquids

  • 4 cups beef broth

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or butter (optional, for browning beef)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes to develop flavor.
  2. Simmer the beef: Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Pour in the beef broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  3. Add pierogies: Once the beef is tender, carefully add the frozen pierogies to the simmering stew. Cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes until the pierogies are heated through and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Final seasoning and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting stew.

Notes

  • You can brown the beef before simmering to enhance the stew’s flavor, but it’s optional.
  • Use any kind of pierogies you prefer, such as potato and cheese or mushroom-filled.
  • For a thicker stew, you can mash some of the cooked pierogies into the broth.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
