Total time: 2 h 50 min
Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: Finnish
Ingredients: 1 ½ lbs (700g) beef roast, cubed; 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced; 2 parsnips, peeled and cubed; 1 large onion, chopped; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon black pepper; 1 teaspoon paprika; 2 bay leaves; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 cups (480ml) beef broth; Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a large oven-proof pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the onions and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the seared beef to the pot and add the carrots, parsnips, salt, pepper, paprika, and bay leaves. Give everything a good stir to combine the flavors.
Pour in the beef broth, ensuring all the ingredients are submerged.
Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let the stew cook for 2 to 2 ½ hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are soft.
Once done, remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaves.
Serve the aromatic Karelian Stew hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.
