📝 Preparation Steps
1
Brown the beef. Add the beef to a large mixing bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the flour and toss until evenly combined. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Transfer the beef to a clean plate. Repeat the process with an additional 1 tablespoon oil and the remaining beef, then transfer the beef to a clean plate.
2
Sauté the veggies. Add the remaining oil and onion to the stockpot. Sauté for ⏱️ 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for ⏱️ 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add 6 cups of the beef stock, the cooked beef, thyme and bay leaf and stir to combine.
