Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean beef stew meat (trimmed of fat)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 small golden potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper, then sear it in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.
Return the browned beef to the pot, along with the carrots, celery, potatoes, and bay leaf.
Pour in the beef broth, then stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer gently for 75-80 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.
Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking, allowing them to heat through.
Remove the bay leaf and taste the stew. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the stew warm with a garnish of fresh parsley, if desired.
