Instructions
- Step 1: Cut 1.5 lbs beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes and pat dry. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then sear beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch.
- Step 2: Add 1 large chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves to the pot, sautéing for 3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in 3 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
- Step 3: Add 2 cups beef broth and 1 cup diced tomatoes, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low heat for 25 minutes.
- Step 4: Add 4 chopped carrots and 3 diced potatoes, stirring to coat. Cover and simmer for 30 more minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Step 5: Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1 tsp fresh thyme, cooking for 5 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
