  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 bay leaf
  • Optional: 1/2 cup peas, chopped cabbage, or zucchini

Instructions

  1. Season beef with salt and pepper.

  4. Add garlic and tomato paste (if using), cook for 1 minute.
  5. Return beef to the pot and add diced tomatoes, beef broth, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1½ hours until beef is tender.
  7. Add potatoes, green beans, corn, and any other vegetables. Simmer for another 20–25 minutes until tender.
  8. Remove bay leaf, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Substitute barley or pasta for potatoes for variation.
  • Use ground beef for a quicker version.
  • Add chili flakes or hot sauce for heat.
  • Frozen veggies can be added during the last 15–20 minutes of cooking.
  • Thicken with mashed potatoes or cornstarch slurry if desired.
