  • 3 potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Instructions:

    1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then brown the pieces of beef on all sides. This step adds depth and flavor to the stew.
    2. Add the Aromatics: Once the beef is browned, remove it from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic until softened and fragrant—about 3-4 minutes.
    3. Simmer the Stew: Return the beef to the pot, then add the carrots, potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer.
    4. Slow Cook: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook slowly for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
    5. Finish and Serve: Once the stew is ready, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

    This recipe perfectly embodies my grandpa’s method: simple, hearty, and packed with flavor. The slow cooking process brings out the richness of the beef and vegetables, and the care you put into each step ensures a satisfying and delicious meal.
