Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground beef
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 large, diced Carrot
- 2 diced Celery stalk
- 1 diced Red bell pepper
- 400 grams Canned tomatoes
- 250 milliliters Low sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until browned.
Drain any excess fat from the pot to keep the dish low in fat.
Add the diced carrot, celery, and red bell pepper to the pot, stirring well and cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the canned tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce.
Add the dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt to the pot and mix well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Allow the stew to cook gently for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or alongside steamed rice or whole-grain bread.
