Meat & Potato Stew

Rice

Method

Meat & Potato Stew

  1. 1

    Brown the Meat

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes and add to the pot. Brown the meat on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the chopped carrots, diced potatoes, beef broth, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the stew to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Stir occasionally and adjust seasoning as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the stew is ready, remove bay leaves and serve hot.

Rice

  1. 6

    Rinse the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 7

    Boil Water

    Add the 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to the saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. 8

    Cook the Rice

    Once boiling, add the rinsed rice. Stir briefly, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.

  4. 9

    Fluff and Serve

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
