Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 1 pound ground beef (grass-fed if possible)
- 1 large bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small cabbage, chopped
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots and diced celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Increase heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until evenly browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped bell pepper and cabbage. Stir to combine with other ingredients.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Stir in the tomato paste, ensuring it is fully mixed into the stew.
Season the stew with dried thyme, dried oregano, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
