This comforting beef stew, rich with tender meat, sweet tomatoes, and earthy carrots, is a perfect one-pot meal. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieving flavor-packed perfection.
Ingredients: 500g beef brisket, cut into 2-inch cubes; 2 large tomatoes, chopped; 2 carrots, sliced; 1 onion, diced; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 1 tbsp tomato paste; 500ml beef broth; 2 bay leaves; 1 tsp dried thyme; Salt and pepper to taste; 2 tbsp oil for searing.
Instructions:
1. Sear the Beef: Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper, then sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, sauté onion and garlic until fragrant (3-4 minutes). Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen flavor.
3. Simmer Together: Return beef to the pot. Add tomatoes, carrots, broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5–2 hours, or until beef is fork-tender.
4. Season and Serve: Discard bay leaves. Adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
Tips: For extra richness, sear carrots lightly before adding. Let the stew rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy this hearty, nutritious dish that warms the soul!
