How to Make Beef And Vegetable Stew
- Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Set aside.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute more.
- Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in beef broth, add potatoes and turnips.
- Add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1.5 hours, or until beef is very tender.
- Stir in frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Remove bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with crusty bread (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
