Instructions
1
Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and brown the beef on all sides. Remove and set aside.
2
In the same pot, sauté the onions and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes.
3
Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Return the beef to the pot. Add carrots, potatoes, thyme, rosemary, and beef broth. Stir well.
5
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, until beef is tender.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
Chef's Tips
- For deeper flavor, sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
- Add a splash of red wine when sautéing the onions for extra richness.
- If the stew is too thin, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and stir into the stew to thicken.
- Leftovers taste even better the next day as flavors meld together.
- Freeze portions for quick meals later.
