Main Course - Irish Beef Stew

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef chunks and brown them on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and add the diced potatoes, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

  4. 4

    Simmer

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