How to Make Beef Stew A La Italia

  1. In a large Dutch oven or pot, brown 1.5 lbs beef stew meat in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Add 1 large chopped onion, 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 4 cloves minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 cup beef broth, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Return the beef to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1.5 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
  5. If the stew becomes too thick, add a little more beef broth or water as needed.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty garlic bread.
