Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 pounds of beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of beef broth
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 3 potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions to Culinary Bliss:
- Start by heating up the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, throw in the beef chunks. Brown them on all sides – don’t rush this step, it adds so much flavor!
- Once the beef is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside. In that same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until it’s translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Now it’s time to add the garlic, cooking for an additional minute, then stir in the tomato paste. Cook this combo for another couple of minutes to get all those flavors mingling together.
- Return the beef to the pot. Add your broth, carrots, potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper. Bring it all to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
- Cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours. You want that beef tender and falling apart. Stir occasionally, and feel free to add more broth if it looks too thick.
- When it’s ready, remove the bay leaf and taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
And there you have it! A comforting bowl of beef stew that’s perfect for any occasion. Serve it up with some crusty bread or over a nice helping of rice, and you’ve got yourself a feast. Enjoy every spoonful, and don’t forget to share with your loved ones!
