Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large, chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 medium, diced carrots
- 2 diced celery stalks
- 2 cups low sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the vegetables have softened.
Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned all over. This should take about 7 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, mixing it with the beef and vegetables. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the tomato paste caramelize slightly.
Pour the low sodium beef broth into the pot and add the worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried oregano, freshly ground black pepper, and bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it stew for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the peas are heated through.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve the stewed ground beef hot over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
