Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Tenderize the beef round steak using a meat mallet if not already tenderized. Cut the steak into 2-inch pieces.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of beef in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the beef pieces in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the browned beef and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and dice the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 7

Return the browned beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Let the stew simmer gently for 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Add the potatoes to the stew and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf and garnish the stew with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice if desired.
