Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broth

  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups beef broth

Vegetables

  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat to prepare for browning the beef.
  2. Brown the Beef: Add beef cubes to the pot and brown them on all sides, sealing in flavor and juices.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Stir in chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until they soften and become fragrant.
  4. Add Vegetables: Incorporate sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and sliced mushrooms into the pot.
  5. Season the Stew: Mix in tomato paste, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper evenly to enhance the stew’s flavor profile.
  6. Add Broth and Boil: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  7. Simmer the Stew: Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together.
  8. Final Seasoning: Taste the stew and adjust salt and pepper if necessary before serving hot.

Notes

  • For extra richness, you can brown the mushrooms separately before adding them in.
  • This stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over cooked rice for a fulfilling meal.
  • To thicken the stew, mix a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch with cold water and stir it in during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
