Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium Carrots, sliced
- 3 Celery stalks, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 4 cups Beef broth, Whole30 compliant
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper.
Heat coconut oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat.
Add the beef in batches, browning each side for about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the carrots and celery, cooking for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Add tomato paste and stir, cooking for 2 more minutes.
Pour in the beef broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Return the browned beef to the pot. Add bay leaves and thyme.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover.
Simmer the stew for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas and cook until heated through.
Discard the bay leaves before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
