Ingredients

2 lbs beef chuck, cut into cubes
3 cups potatoes, diced
2 cups carrots, sliced
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.
Brown the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides.
Set aside the browned beef on a plate.
Sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic in the same pot for 3 to 5 minutes.
Incorporate the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Combine the browned beef back into the pot along with beef broth, potatoes, carrots, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil.
Simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, until beef is tender.
Final step: Remove bay leaves before serving.

Browning the beef enhances the flavor of the stew. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning.
