• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 3 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 lbs cubed beef (I used chuck roast)

1 (15 oz) can stewed tomatoes

1 (6 oz) can tomato paste

4 cups beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 medium onion (chopped)

3 large carrots (sliced)

3 ribs celery (chopped)

1 cup fresh or frozen peas

1 lb baby potatoes (sliced in half)

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)

1 bay leaf

Directions

To make on your Stove Top:

Drizzle olive oil in a large dutch oven or pot on medium high heat until oil is hot and glistening. Add cubed beef and sear meat on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Add in the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for about 2 to 3 hours, until meat and veggies are tender. Serve and enjoy!

To make in your Instant Pot:

Drizzle olive oil in the bowl of your instant pot and turn on the sauté function. Wait until it’s nice and heated then add meat, browning on all sides.

Add the rest of your ingredients, seal the instant pot and select the meat/stew setting (about 35 minutes).

Once cooking is complete, let the instant pot sit for about 12 minutes then release the steam by placing the valve to the venting position. Serve and enjoy!

To make in your Crock Pot:

Drizzle olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat until oil is hot and glistening. Add cubed beef and sear meat on all sides, about 5 minutes. (You could also skip the browning step and just add the raw meat to your crock pot, but browning the meat adds more depth of flavor!)

Once the meat is browned, add it to your crock pot along with the rest of ingredients, cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours. Serve and enjoy!
