Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion
• 3 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Celery stalks
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 whole Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by trimming excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into 1.5-inch cubes.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Working in batches, brown the beef cubes on all sides. Avoid overcrowding the pot. Once browned, remove the beef and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining olive oil, and sauté the chopped onion, carrots, and celery until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and tomato paste, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes until the tomato paste darkens slightly.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and return the browned beef to the pot.

Step 7

Add the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Step 8

Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently for 2.5 hours or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Check seasoning and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
