Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into 1.5-inch chunks. Season the pieces with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
Dredge the beef pieces in all-purpose flour, coating them lightly.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove browned beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Toss in the sliced carrots, celery, and diced potatoes. Stir and cook for 3 minutes.
Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth and canned diced tomatoes (including juices). Stir to combine.
Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, and a bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
About 15 minutes before the stew finishes cooking, stir in the frozen green peas.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
