Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 large, peeled and sliced carrots
- 3 sliced celery stalks
- 3 medium, peeled and diced russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Once cooked, remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Saute the diced onion and minced garlic until the onion is translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the sliced carrots, celery, and diced potatoes to the pot. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, making sure all the vegetables are coated.
Pour in the beef broth, and return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
