Ingredients

• 500 grams beef chuck
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves

• 1 medium, diced carrot
• 1 liter beef broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon, dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sear on all sides until browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until translucent.

Step 4

Add minced garlic, diced celery, cubed beetroot, and diced carrot to the pot. Cook and stir frequently for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Return the beef cubes to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 6

Add the bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1 hour or until the beef is tender and the beetroot is cooked through.

Step 8

After cooking, remove the bay leaf from the soup.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
