- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoons salt

Instructions
Dice the lean beef stew meat into 1-inch cubes if not already prepared.
Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Peel and slice the carrots into rounds.
Chop the celery stalks and onion into small pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides for about 5 minutes. Remove them from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent.
Stir in the tomato paste, allowing it to cook for about 1 minute to develop flavor.
Add the chopped carrots, celery, browned beef, potatoes, and their juices back into the pot.
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, then add the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer the stew gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded.
Remove the bay leaf from the stew.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat hearty potato and meat stew!
