A hearty and flavorful beef stew with a touch of herbs and spices, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and golden.
Ensure the garlic doesn't burn as it can turn bitter.
Coat the beef chunks in flour, shaking off any excess.
Use a resealable bag to coat the beef evenly and reduce mess.
Brown the beef in the pot with a bit of oil until all sides are seared.
Avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure proper browning.
Add water, tomato paste, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Deglaze the pot with a splash of water to incorporate all the browned bits.
Transfer the pot to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and cook covered for 2 hours.
Check halfway through to ensure the liquid hasn't reduced too much.
Stir in the chopped parsley before serving.
Add the parsley just before serving to retain its fresh flavor.
Serve the stew hot with your favorite side dish.
Pair with crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
