Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth

  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear beef cubes until browned on all sides, then set aside.
