Cuisine: Comfort Food
Ingredients: 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 large onion, chopped; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 4 carrots, peeled and sliced; 3 celery stalks, chopped; 2 potatoes, peeled and diced; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon dried rosemary; 4 cups beef broth; 1 cup red wine (optional); Salt and pepper to taste; Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat in batches and cook until browned on all sides.
Once all the beef is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot, and cook for about 5 minutes.
Return the browned beef to the pot, sprinkle the dried thyme and rosemary over the mixture, and season with salt and pepper.
Pour in the beef broth and red wine (if using) to deglaze the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid.
Let the stew simmer gently for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot.
