Ingredients: 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into cubes; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 onion, chopped; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 4 carrots, peeled and sliced; 3 celery stalks, chopped; 2 cups beef broth; 1 cup red wine; 2 tablespoons tomato paste; 2 bay leaves; 1 teaspoon thyme; Salt and pepper to taste; 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed

Instructions

Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the sliced carrots and chopped celery. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
Pour in the beef broth and red wine, stirring to combine. Add the tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
After the stew has simmered for a while and the meat is tender, add the cubed potatoes. Continue to cook for another 30 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt and pepper to your liking.
Once the beef stew is ready, remove the bay leaves and discard them. Serve the stew hot in bowls, garnished with some fresh parsley if desired.
