Ingredients
  

For the stew
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into cubes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (Ensure it’s Halal compliant)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper, then add it to the pot.
  3. Sear the meat on all sides until browned (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
Cooking
  1. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, around 3-5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour in the beef broth and return the seared beef to the pot.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots. Give everything a hearty stir to combine.
  4. Allow the stew to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  5. Taste the stew and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Once the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through, your stew is ready to be served!

Notes

For a twist, try using lamb stew meat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It also freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
