Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 large onion
- 1 large carrot
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 12 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches, allowing each piece to brown on all sides. Remove the browned beef and set it aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the onion. Add them to the pot and sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Step 4
Chop the carrot and celery stalks into small pieces and add them to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms and add them to the vegetable mixture. Cook until they are browned and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Return the browned beef to the pot. Add 4 cups of beef broth and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, stirring to combine.
Step 7
Add 1 bay leaf and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme (or 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme) to the stew.
Step 8
Bring the stew to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Step 9
Stir occasionally and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 10
Before serving, remove the bay leaf, and garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy the wholesome, hearty flavors of a low-carb stew!
