Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Cut the beef chuck into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Slice the carrots, dice the potatoes, chop the onion and celery, and mince the garlic.

Cooking the Stew

  1. 3

    Brown the Beef

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

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the chopped onions, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and thyme to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  4. 6

    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. 7

    Final Seasoning

    After cooking, taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
