Hearty Beef and Vegetable Stew Recipe

Ingredients:

1.5 pounds beef stew meat, cut into cubes

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups beef broth

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

3 carrots, peeled and sliced

3 potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 cup frozen green beans

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup frozen peas

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 bay leaves

Instructions:

Brown the Beef:

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Sauté Onions and Garlic:

In the same pot, add the onions and cook until they are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Deglaze and Simmer:

Return the beef to the pot. Add the beef broth and canned tomatoes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Add Vegetables and Season:

Add the carrots, potatoes, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the meat and vegetables are tender.

Add Remaining Vegetables:

Add the frozen green beans, corn, and peas in the last 15 minutes of cooking to preserve their color and texture.

Season and Serve:

Remove the bay leaves and season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, ideally with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
