Ingredients
- 450 grams Lean beef stew meat

- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 500 milliliters Low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the lean beef stew meat and sear until browned on all sides, about 5–7 minutes. Remove the meat and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onions and garlic and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 1–2 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot, stirring them together with the onion and garlic mixture.
Return the beef to the pot and pour in the low-sodium beef broth.
Sprinkle in the dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 2 hours, checking and stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the stew is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your healthy, low-calorie, low-fat oven stew!
