Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 carrots, sliced
- 3 potatoes, diced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- 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.
- In the same pot, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
- 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.
- 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.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Once ready, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
