Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pounds beef stew meat
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 celery stalks, sliced
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the beef stew meat with salt and black pepper. Add the beef to the pot in batches, searing each batch until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the meat and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, continuing to cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the carrots, celery, and sweet potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.

Step 6

Pour the crushed tomatoes and beef broth into the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Return the seared beef to the pot along with the bay leaves and fresh thyme.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
