Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown the Meat

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes, and sauté for another 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the browned meat to the pot. Pour in the broth, and add the fresh thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    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 meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

  5. 5

    Final Touch

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