Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds lean beef chuck steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 large celery stalks
• 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 medium potatoes
• 1 cup green beans
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck steak into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove each batch and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Peel and slice the carrots into rounds and roughly chop the celery stalks.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Sauté the onions until translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic, carrots, and celery, continuing to sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the low-sodium beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, and ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 9

After 1 hour of simmering, add the potatoes, green beans, and frozen peas to the pot.

Step 10

Continue cooking for another 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 11

Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust the seasoning with more black pepper if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, offering a vibrant touch and added freshness.
