Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat in batches and brown it on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Return the browned beef to the pot along with the cubed potatoes and sliced carrots. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 90 to 120 minutes, until the beef is tender and flavors meld.

Notes

For added nutrition, feel free to incorporate more vegetables like peas or celery. Don’t rush the browning of the beef for better flavor.
