Ingredients

• 750 grams beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 medium parsnips
• 500 grams potatoes
• 1 liter beef broth
• 250 milliliters dry red wine
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into 3-4 cm cubes.

Step 2

Season the beef cubes with 1 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper, then dredge them lightly in the flour to coat all sides.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. In the same pot, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring until softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Peel the carrots and parsnips, and cut them into 2-3 cm chunks. Peel and cut the potatoes into similar-sized cubes.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the pot, then add the carrots, parsnips, and potatoes. Stir gently to combine.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any browned bits.

Step 8

Stir in the tomato paste, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and allow the stew to cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The beef should become tender, and the vegetables should soften.

Step 10

Taste the stew and season with the remaining teaspoon of salt (or more, if needed). Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or over a bed of spätzle.
