Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

  3. In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Return the beef to the pot and add the beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is tender.
  8. Add the carrots, potatoes, and celery to the pot. Stir well and continue cooking for an additional 30-40 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  9. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy your delicious beef stew!

Notes

Leftover beef stew can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm gently on low heat, adding a splash of broth if needed.
