Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, chopped
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon parsley, dried
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 leaf bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for about a minute.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a plate, leaving the oils in the pot.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent.

Step 4

Add the diced red bell pepper and continue to cook for 3 more minutes until the bell pepper is slightly softened.

Step 5

Add the chopped zucchini and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 4-5 minutes until they are just starting to soften.

Step 6

Return the browned ground beef to the pot. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 7

Add the tomato paste and mix thoroughly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the tomato paste to integrate with the other ingredients.

Step 8

Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring well.

Step 9

Add the dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Stir to combine all the flavors.

Step 10

Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

After simmering, remove the bay leaf from the stew. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 12

Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
