Ingredients
1 pound beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
2 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the potatoes, carrots, beef broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
