Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 celery stalks, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups bone broth or beef broth (Whole30 compliant)
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 4 medium red potatoes, cut into chunks
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck pieces with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Let it sit while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 2

In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Brown the beef on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the onions become translucent and the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste and stir for about 2 minutes until it coats the vegetables.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the 4 cups of bone broth and the can of diced tomatoes. Add the bay leaf and fresh thyme.

Step 7

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

After 1.5 hours, add the red potatoes and green beans to the stew. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender and the beef is very tender, about another 1 hour.

Step 9

Before serving, remove the bay leaf and check for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve the stew hot and enjoy this comforting Whole30 compliant meal.
