Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 potatoes, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides.
