Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 Carrots, peeled & diced
- 2 stalks Celery, diced
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 14 oz Diced tomatoes (canned)
- 1 cup Frozen peas
Instructions
- Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics Begin by browning the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the finely chopped onion and minced garlic as the beef cooks. Continue to stir occasionally until the onions are translucent and the garlic exudes a fragrant aroma. To ensure a balanced flavor, drain any excess fat that accumulates.
- Step 2: Add Vegetables and Broth Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot following the sautéing of the aromatics. Pour in the beef broth and the canned diced tomatoes, stirring to mix everything thoroughly. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to let it simmer for about 20 minutes. This duration is essential to let the flavors of the stew meld together seamlessly.
- Step 3: Incorporate the Peas and Finish About 5 minutes before the end of the cooking process, stir in the frozen peas. Allow the stew to simmer until the peas are fully heated through. Finalize the dish by tasting and adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper to suit your preference.
