Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large, chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 stalks, chopped celery
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups, trimmed and halved green beans
- 2 medium, chopped zucchini
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into bite-sized cubes, trimming off any excess fat.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the beef cubes in batches, searing them until each side is browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, cooking until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and chopped celery, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the beef to the pot, then pour in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes.
Add the green beans, zucchini, bay leaves, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Stir the mixture gently to combine all ingredients well.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Let the stew simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
Discard the bay leaves, stir in chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
