Easy Homemade Beef Stew

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches (to avoid overcrowding) and brown on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.

  3. Add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and red wine (if using). Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Return the browned beef to the pot.
  5. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well blended. Stir occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Once ready, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
