Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrot, diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth (Whole30 compliant)
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for about 3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and red bell pepper, cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juice and the beef broth. Stir to combine.
Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir the mixture well and bring it to a simmer.
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After the stew has thickened and the flavors melded, remove the bay leaf.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
