Ingredients
- 1½ - 2 pounds beef round steak cut into 1 inch pieces
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil sub avocado oil
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced (divided)
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 4 celery stalks sliced
- 3 large carrots peeled and sliced
- 48 ounces beef broth
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Prep Beef: Season the cut-up beef with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.
- Sauté: Bring dutch oven to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil Once hot, add 1 teaspoon garlic. Move around as it becomes fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Sear Beef: Add seasoned beef pieces to the hot pot, allowing it to cook about 5-6 minutes. It doesn't need to be cooked fully, just seared on the outside. Remove beef from pot and place on a large plate. Set aside.
- Cook Veggies: Add 2 teaspoons garlic and move around until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add onion, celery and carrots. Stir as they cook, about 3 minutes.
- Simmer: Add 48 ounces beef broth, 1 bay leaf and the seared beef (along with any juices that have settled on the plate). Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and cover for 45-60 minutes.
- Adjust: Remove cover and test tenderness of vegetables and taste. If vegetables aren't done to your liking, cover and continue simmering in 15 minute increments. Taste and add additional salt or pepper, as desired.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Whole30/Paleo: check the beef broth ingredients to make sure it's compliant.
- Seasoning: Make sure to taste the broth at the end and adjust seasoning. Beef broths can vary in salt level so much. The broth I used didn't require any additional seasoning, but that may not be the case for all broths.
- Storage: leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
