Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 large fresh tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 cooked white rice or crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Sear the beef in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and stir well to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 8

Return the seared beef to the skillet. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 11

Serve hot over cooked white rice or alongside crusty bread, if desired.
