Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or Borsari Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup red wine (optional, can substitute with extra broth)
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tsp Borsari Coffee Seasoning
  • 2 tsp Borsari Tuscan Rosemary Sage Seasoning
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches until golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add onions, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste, cooking for 1 minute.
  3. Deglaze: Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Simmer the Stew: Return beef to the pot. Add beef broth, bay leaves, Borsari Coffee Seasoning, and Tuscan Rosemary Sage Seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 ½ hours.
  5. Add the Potatoes: Stir in potatoes and cook uncovered for another 30 to 40 minutes, or until beef and potatoes are tender.
  6. Finish & Serve: Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning to taste, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Pro Tips

  • For extra depth of flavor, sear the beef in batches - don’t overcrowd the pot.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, mash a few potatoes directly into the broth as it simmers.
  • This stew tastes even better the next day, perfect for meal prep or make-ahead dinners.
