Directions
Step 1
Cut the beef chuck roast into 1.5-inch cubes. Season the beef with salt and black pepper.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches, browning on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 5
Return the beef to the pot. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves. Stir well.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.

Add the diced parsnips and cubed sweet potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 30 minutes, or until the vegetables and beef are tender.
