Ingredients

3 lbs chuck roast beef (cut into 1 inches cubes)
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 lbs baby potato (cut in halved)
1 large onion
2 medium carrots (cut into chunks)
7 gloves garlic
6 cups beef broth (6 cups of water if the broth not available)
3 bay leaves
2 sprigs rosemary
bundle thyme
3 tablespoon tomato sauce
1/4 cup chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1
Start by cutting the beef into 1-inch cubes. In a large bowl, combine the meat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and flour. Mix well until the beef is evenly coated.
2
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large pot or pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and sear until nicely browned on all sides. Remove the meat and set aside.
3
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and fresh garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant. Pour in the beef broth, then return the browned beef to the pot. Add the tomato paste, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme.
4
Cover and bring to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the meat is about ¾ tender.
5
At this stage, add the chopped carrots and potatoes. Continue cooking until the vegetables are tender and the meat is fully cooked.
6
Turn off the heat and let the stew rest briefly before serving garnish with some chopped parsley. Serve hot with rice or creamy mashed potatoes.

Chef's Notes

The Real Origin (Simple Truth) Beef stew dates back thousands of years, to when people first learned: how to cook meat slowly how to soften tough cuts using liquid and heat Early humans realized that tough meat becomes tender when simmered for a long time, especially with water, herbs, and whatever vegetables were available.
