- 4 cups Low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the beef stew meat to the pot, season with salt and black pepper, and brown on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once browned, remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the beef to the pot and add the sliced carrots, celery, and cubed potatoes.
Pour in the beef broth, then stir in the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Add the dried thyme and bay leaf, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Remove the bay leaf, taste the stew, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low fat hearty beef stew.
