How to Make Beef And Vegetable Stew

  1. Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
  2. 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.
  3. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in beef broth, add potatoes and turnips.
  6. 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.
  7. Stir in frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  8. Remove bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  9. 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!
