- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups cooked white rice or mashed potatoes, for serving
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Brown the Beef:
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Return the browned beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Simmer and Transfer:
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Once cooked, transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and heated through.
