Method

1

Cut the beef chuck into 1-inch cubes. Season generously with salt and pepper.

2

In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the beef and set aside.

3

Add the chopped onion and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute.

4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

5

Gradually pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaf.

6

Return the beef to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5-2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

7

Add the chopped carrots and potatoes to the stew. Cover and continue to cook for another 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

8

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot.
