Hearty Beef Stew

Hearty Beef Stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for cold winter nights. This dish is packed with tender beef, hearty vegetables, and a rich broth that will warm you up from the inside out. To make this delicious stew, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 3 potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas

To start, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the beef broth, red wine, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 1 hour.
After an hour, add the carrots, potatoes, and celery to the pot. Simmer for another hour, or until the vegetables are tender and the beef is cooked through. Add the frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes, or until they are heated through.
The Hearty Beef Stew is now ready to serve. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in, and it pairs well with a crusty bread or a side salad. The appearance of this dish is rich and hearty, with chunks of tender beef and colorful vegetables. The taste is savory and satisfying, with a rich broth that is full of flavor.
