Hearty Beef Stew

Preparation 1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside. 2. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Stew 3. Return the browned meat to the pot. Add the chopped carrots, diced potatoes, beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 4. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Serving 5. Serve the hearty beef stew hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread on the side for dipping and soaking up the delicious broth.
