Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef pieces in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the meat on all sides, working in batches if necessary.

  2. Remove the browned beef from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Saute until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to make a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

  4. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken slightly.

  5. Return the browned beef to the pan along with any accumulated juices. Add the cubed potatoes and stir to combine.

  6. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce heat to low. Simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender and potatoes are cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
