Step 1

Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the beef in batches. Sear each batch for 3-4 minutes, turning to brown all sides. Do not overcrowd the pot.

Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until soften.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and lift any brown bits.

Step 9

Add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and thyme. Stir until well combined.

Step 10

Return the beef to the pot along with any accumulated juices.

Step 11

Add carrots, celery, mushrooms, and zucchini to the pot and bring to a simmer.

Step 12

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

Step 13

Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 14

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