- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides, for about 5-7 minutes. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Remove the browned meat from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots and celery, cooking for another 5 minutes.
Return the browned beef to the pot.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, and fresh thyme.
Stir well to combine, bringing the stew to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Season the stew with salt and black pepper.
Remove bay leaves before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
