Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown the Beef

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the carrots, potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Stew

    Bring the mixture 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.

  5. 5

    Final Touches

    Remove the bay leaves before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
