Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef chuck
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 large onion
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 4 medium red potatoes
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and dice the onion.

Step 3

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into quarters. Peel and slice the carrots into 1-inch pieces.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the beef cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. Sear until the beef is browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and diced onions, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the dried thyme, then return the seared beef to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Add the quartered potatoes and sliced carrots to the pot, making sure they are partially submerged in the broth.

Step 10

Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for 60-70 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 11

Once cooked, taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
