Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds beef chuck cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 large yellow onions sliced
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and season beef cubes with salt and pepper, then brown them on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Add sliced onions to the same pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and flour, cooking for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Return beef to the pot along with beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 90 minutes until beef is tender.
  5. Stir in frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
  6. Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve hot in bowls with crusty bread.
