Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 2 potatoes, diced
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and brown it on all sides. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
- Once the meat is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Stir in the carrots, potatoes, and celery. Add the thyme, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the stew simmer for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally.
- Once the stew is cooked, remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty, homemade beef stew!
