Ingredients
Scale
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb lean ground beef
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 cup frozen peas (added at the end)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes (undrained), tomato paste, cubed potatoes, sliced carrots, sliced celery, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until heated through.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Ladle the hot stew into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve warm, perhaps with crusty bread.
Notes
For a thicker stew, you can mash some of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot.
Feel free to add other vegetables like corn or green beans.
This stew can be made ahead of time and reheats well.
