Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the beef cubes and sear them on all sides until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the beef broth and tomato paste, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Return the seared beef to the pot and add the bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 90 minutes, add carrots, celery, peas, and thyme to the pot.
Continue to simmer uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and discard.
Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving for freshness.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot and enjoy!
