Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Beef

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

2

Sauté Vegetables

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent.

3

Combine Ingredients

Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

4

Simmer

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.

5

Final Seasoning

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remove bay leaves before serving.
