Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 4 medium carrots
• 3 celery stalks
• 1 pound baby potatoes
• 4 cups beef broth or stock
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the beef cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, lower the heat to medium and add the chopped yellow onion. Sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 5

Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then deglaze the pot with a small amount of beef broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.

Step 7

Return the beef to the pot, then add the remaining beef broth, bay leaves, and fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer.

Step 8

Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover, and let cook for 1.5 hours until the beef is tender.

Step 9

Slice the carrots and celery into 1-inch pieces and halve the baby potatoes. Add them to the stew.

Step 10

Continue to simmer for another 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 11

Remove bay leaves before serving and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
