  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, diced
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Chop all vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking and dice the beef into bite-sized chunks.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil and sear the beef until browned on all sides (about 5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté onions and garlic until softened (about 3 minutes). Add carrots and celery; cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Return the beef to the pot and add potatoes, tomatoes (with juice), broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and cover. Simmer for at least one hour until vegetables are tender.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving hot with crusty bread.
