Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1.5 cups long-grain white rice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by prepping your ingredients: chop the onion and garlic cloves finely. Cut the carrots and celery into small, even pieces.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 4

Brown the beef in batches, ensuring each piece is nicely browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the onions. Cook until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot, cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Return the browned beef to the pot.

Step 8

Add the bay leaf, thyme, additional salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 90 minutes or until the beef is tender.

Step 10

While the beef is simmering, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 11

Add the rice to the pot after the beef has cooked for about 70 minutes. Make sure the rice is fully submerged in the liquid.

Step 12

Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.

Step 13

Remove the bay leaf, and stir in the fresh parsley.

Step 14

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, savory beef and rice dish.
