Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef stew meat
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 medium carrots
- 3 celery stalks
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Season the beef stew meat with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Brown the meat in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Set the browned meat aside.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Peel and chop the carrots, celery, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Add the carrots and celery to the pot, cooking for another 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen its flavor. Then, return the browned beef to the pot.
Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaf, dried thyme, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid.
Simmer the stew for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Add the chopped potatoes and continue simmering for another 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your warming Snowmobile Stew!
