Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 medium Celery stalks
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 whole Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by trimming excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into 1.5-inch cubes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, brown the beef cubes on all sides. Avoid overcrowding the pot. Once browned, remove the beef and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining olive oil, and sauté the chopped onion, carrots, and celery until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and tomato paste, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes until the tomato paste darkens slightly.
Pour in the beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and return the browned beef to the pot.
Add the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently for 2.5 hours or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together.
Check seasoning and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
