Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Beef chuck roast cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil divided
  • 1 large Yellow onion chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 4 cups Beef broth low sodium preferred
  • 3 large Carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pat the beef chunks dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding, turning to sear all sides. Transfer the browned beef to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
  • Return the browned beef and its resting juices to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Add the chopped carrots and potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine, cover, and simmer for an additional 45 to 60 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are fork-tender.
  • Remove from heat, adjust salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
