Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat the Oil: Start by placing a large pot over medium heat and drizzle in olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
  2. Brown the Beef: Add beef chuck cubes to the hot pot and sear for 5-7 minutes until golden-brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  4. Add Vegetables: Introduce sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and mushrooms, stirring for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Seasonings: Mix in tomato paste, dried thyme, rosemary, plus salt and pepper. Stir for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add the Broth: Pour in beef broth while scraping the bottom of the pot. Bring to a gentle boil for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Simmer to Perfection: Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Notes

This stew can be prepared in advance; its flavor improves overnight. For a thicker consistency, create a slurry using cornstarch and cold water during final minutes of cooking.
