Hearty Beef Stew

I love beef stew especially with lots of carrots and herbs so I decided to cook some for dinner to surprise my hubby and LO.


Hearty Beef Stew 

Ingredients (serves 4 adults & 1 hungry tot)
600g beef chunks or shin
1 big carrot
1/2 yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
3 slices of ginger
2 ripe tomatoes
1/2 red capsicum
1 potato
1 sprig Chinese parsley
2 small bay leaves
1l of water
2 tsp tomato paste
1/8 tsp Thyme
1/2 tsp Basil
Black Pepper
Olive oil

Method
Heat up the olive oil in a pot and add in garlic cloves and beef chunks. Brown the beef in medium heat till it is partially cooked and a nice brownish liquid appears.

Add in all the chopped vegetables, water , herbs (to your preference ) and simmer it for 2 hours. Add in the tomato paste to taste.

Check that beef is nice and tender and serve it warm.
