Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, chopped onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 3 chopped celery stalks
• 2 medium, sliced carrots
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon, dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 medium, diced zucchini
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, searing them on all sides until they are browned. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, chopped celery, and sliced carrots, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.

Step 5

Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and add the tomato paste, stirring to combine. Bring the stew to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the stew simmer gently for about 90 minutes, or until the beef is tender.

Step 7

After 90 minutes, add the frozen peas and diced zucchini to the pot. Stir everything together and continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 30 minutes, allowing the stew to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Once the peas are tender and the flavors have melded together, remove the bay leaves from the pot.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot, enjoying the comforting, low-carb flavors.
