Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 4 large carrots, sliced thickly
  • 2 yellow onions, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sear the Meat: In a heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown half of the beef cubes on all sides; remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add onions and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic for an additional minute.
  3. Deglaze: Pour in 1 cup of beef broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up any brown bits.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Return seared beef to the pot along with carrots, potatoes, thyme, bay leaves, and remaining broth. Stir well.
  5. Simmer: Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 2 hours until meat is fork-tender.
  6. Serve: Remove bay leaves before serving; garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
