Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, medium, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 bell pepper, large, diced
- 3 celery ribs, sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed beef to the pot in batches to avoid overcrowding, browning each piece on all sides. Remove beef and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced bell pepper, celery, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Return the browned beef to the pot along with the diced zucchini.
Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and stir in the tomato paste until well combined.
Add bay leaves, salt, pepper, and thyme to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Remove and discard bay leaves before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
