Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Begin by heating a generous splash of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Sear the Beef: Add the beef chuck cubes in a single layer and sear for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onions and minced garlic; sauté for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent.
- Add the Vegetables: Incorporate carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms into the pot, stirring for 5 minutes to soften.
- Blend in the Seasonings: Mix in tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.
- Pour in the Broth: Carefully pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pot. Bring to a boil.
- Simmer Gently: Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Final Taste Check: Check seasoning and doneness; thicken if necessary and let simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
