Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 unit large onion, chopped
• 3 unit garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 unit bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 4 units carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper, and dredge in gluten-free flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In batches, sear the beef cubes in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Add more oil if necessary.

Step 4

Remove the browned beef from the pot and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato paste, incorporating it into the onions and garlic.

Step 8

Return the beef to the pot, then add the beef broth, stirring to combine.

Step 9

Add the bay leaves and dried thyme, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 10

Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for about 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, or until the beef is tender.

Step 11

After 1.5 hours, add the carrots to the pot, cover, and continue to cook for another 20 minutes.

Step 12

Add the peas and cook for another 5 minutes, until the peas are heated through.

Step 13

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Step 14

Remove the bay leaves and discard them.

Step 15

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve hot.
