Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 4 potatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes, trimming off excess fat as needed. Pat the pieces dry with paper towels.
Season the beef with salt and black pepper, then coat evenly with the all-purpose flour.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides. This should take about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove the browned beef and set it aside.
Peel and finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic. In the same pot, sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to deepen its flavor.
Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release the browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for 3–4 minutes.
Return the beef to the pot, and stir in the beef broth. Add the rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
While the beef is cooking, peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Slice the celery into chunks.
After 1 hour, add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir well and continue cooking for another 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.
During the last 10 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through.
Remove the bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme sprigs before serving.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving the stew hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
