Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef stew meat. Cut into bite-sized pieces if necessary.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven.

Step 3

Add the beef to the pot in batches, searing on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove beef to a plate and set aside.

In the same pot, add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Return the beef to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated on the plate.

Step 7

Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, thyme, pepper, and salt.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 2 hours or until the beef is tender.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
