A comforting and flavorful beef stew packed with tender vegetables and aromatic herbs, perfect for a cozy meal.
Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces.
Cutting the beef into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the beef until browned on all sides.
Searing the beef locks in its juices and enhances the flavor.
Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and mushrooms to the pot and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pot.
Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
Mix well to evenly coat the vegetables and beef with the seasonings.
Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Add the diced potatoes and continue to simmer until tender, about 30 minutes.
Check the potatoes with a fork to ensure they are cooked through.
Remove the bay leaves and serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Serving the stew with a garnish adds a touch of freshness and color.
