👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
💡 Consigli Professionali: A cast-iron pot is ideal - 2
Brown the meat in batches until well-seared on all sides. Remove the meat and set aside.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Don't overcrowd the pot, or the meat will steam instead of sear - 3
Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Add the carrots and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 5
Return the browned meat to the pot. Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and bay leaves.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Stir to combine with the onions and carrots - 6
Pour in enough water or broth to cover the meat and vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 1.5 hours, or until the meat is tender.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during the first 30 minutes of simmering - 7
Add the potatoes to the pot. Ensure they are submerged in the liquid. Cover and continue to simmer for another 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Add more liquid if the stew becomes too dry - 8
Remove the bay leaves before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
