Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 2 medium carrots, cut into thick rounds
- 4 cups beef broth
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the beef cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding, browning them on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the celery, green bell pepper, and carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir to combine with the vegetables.
Add the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let the stew cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
If you desire a thicker stew, stir in xanthan gum at the end of cooking and allow to thicken.
Remove the bay leaf and discard.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
