Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 3 large carrots, sliced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Savory Beef Stew with Potatoes

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper.
2. Add the beef to the pot in batches, browning it on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.
3. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Add the browned beef back to the pot along with the diced potatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Stir well to combine.
6. Pour in the beef broth, ensuring that all ingredients are covered. Bring to a boil.
7. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together.
8. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

• For deeper flavor, brown the beef in batches to avoid steaming.
• Let the stew simmer longer if you have the time; it enhances the flavors.
• Use fresh herbs for a brighter taste, but dried herbs work well too.
• If you prefer a thicker stew, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the stew during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Easy Variations

• Swap out potatoes for sweet potatoes for a touch of sweetness.
• Add peas or green beans for a pop of color and nutrition.
• Incorporate red wine for an extra depth of flavor in the broth.
• Toss in mushrooms for an earthy twist.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty bread or dinner rolls for dipping.
• A fresh green salad to balance the meal.
• Creamy mashed potatoes for extra comfort.
• Garlic bread for a savory touch.
