Braised beef and vegetables is a classic, comforting dish that's perfect for a hearty weeknight dinner or family gathering. Combining tender beef with flavorful vegetables, all simmered together in a rich tomato broth, this recipe delivers a satisfying meal that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the onion into small pieces.
- Peel and dice the carrots.
- Chop the celery stalk.
- Cut the beef into large chunks if not already done.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Season the beef chunks with salt and pepper.
- Add the beef to the pot in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear the beef on all sides until it is browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften and the onions become translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Combine and Simmer:
- Return the browned beef to the pot.
- Pour in the beef broth and add the tomato puree.
- Stir everything together to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 2-3 hours or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally and check for liquid levels, adding more beef broth or water if necessary to keep the ingredients submerged.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the braised beef and vegetables into bowls, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.
Tips:
- For best results, use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to evenly distribute heat.
- Sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, which helps to achieve a nice brown crust.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar to the broth for an extra depth of flavor.
- Cook on a low simmer to allow the flavors to meld together and the beef to become tender.
- Consider adding herbs like thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves for additional flavor.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
