Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the beef into 1-inch cubes. Peel and slice the carrots and potatoes. Dice the onions and mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Sear the Beef

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and season with salt and black pepper. Sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the onions and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent. Add carrots and potatoes, mixing well.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the beef to the pot. Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Stew

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover. Let simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld. Stir occasionally.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves before serving. Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy hot.
