Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
• 4 cups beef broth
• 15 ounces cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by trimming any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cutting it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Once browned, remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and celery, cooking until they begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the vegetable mixture, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot to enhance the stew's flavor.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the pot and add the diced tomatoes, cannellini beans, and kidney beans.

Step 7

Stir in the bay leaf, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, covering the pot. Let the stew simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 9

Just before serving, remove the bay leaf, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste if necessary, and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your hearty, dairy-free beef and beans stew!
