Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck roast into bite-sized cubes, trimming off any excess fat.

In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, cooking until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Return the beef to the pot, then pour in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes.

Step 7

Add the green beans, zucchini, bay leaves, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Stir the mixture gently to combine all ingredients well.

Step 9

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

Step 10

Let the stew simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.

Step 11

Discard the bay leaves, stir in chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
