Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat chuck, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 carrots diced
  • 3 celery sticks diced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 15 oz canned tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 3 potatoes peeled and diced
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 teaspoon water optional slurry

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and brown the beef on all sides, then remove and set aside.
  • Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to coat the vegetables.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce, sugar, beef broth, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and the browned beef.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Add the potatoes and continue simmering for 30 minutes or until tender.
  • If desired, stir together the cornstarch and water, then mix it into the stew and simmer for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
  • Remove the bay leaf and serve the stew hot in a bowl on its own or over rice.

Notes

  • If you’ve got other veggies on hand like green beans or bell peppers, feel free to throw them in.
  • Maintain a simmer to keep the meat tender. High-temperature cooking can dry out the meat or make it tough and chewy.
  • The stew can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
