2. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef stew meat in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pot, add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Stir in tomato paste, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for another 2 minutes.
5. Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Bring to a simmer.
6. Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 5 hours without peeking.
7. Remove from the oven, give it a good stir, and serve hot.
Notes:
This stew is perfect for a lazy weekend. Just set it and forget it!
