Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 medium potatoes, diced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once browned, transfer the beef to a bowl using a slotted spoon and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the sliced carrots and celery, cooking for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Return the browned ground beef to the pot. Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce.
Stir in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves. Season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Add the frozen peas and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
