Ingredients
- 2 pounds of 1-inch-thick beef cubes from a chuck roast.
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- 2 onions, diced.
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced.
- 2 cups of beef broth.
- 1 cup red wine.
- 2 cups diced carrots
- 2 cups diced potatoes.
- 2 cups diced celery.
- 1 cup frozen peas.
- tablespoons tomato paste.
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme.
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary.
- Pepper and salt to taste.
Instructions
- The first step is to heat a sizable pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Then we add 2 tbs. of olive oil to the pot.
- Once the oil is hot, add 2lbs of beef chuck roast cut into 1-inch cubes and brown them on all sides for about 5 minutes per side.
- Remove the steak from the pot once it has browned and set it aside.
- Add 2 diced onions and 3 minced cloves of garlic to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups of beef broth, 1 cup of red wine, 2 cups of diced carrots, 2 cups of diced potatoes, 2 cups of diced celery, 1 cup of frozen peas, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 2 teaspoons of dried thyme, 2 teaspoons of dried rosemary, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together.
- Place the beef back into the pot, bring it to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Two hours of simmering should be plenty to thoroughly cook the vegetables and the beef.
- Once it's done, taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the stew hot, with mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or creamy polenta.
