Instructions
- In a large heavy bottom casserole, on high heat, brown the beef with little olive oil and working in small batches. It is important to season the beef well at this point with salt and pepper.
- Once you have browned all the meat, reduce the heat to medium and sweat the onions, celery and carrots, garlic and add the bay leaf as well (5 minutes). Add the beef back to the pot and add the wine and tomatoes, cook for 5 minutes.
- Check seasoning at this point and if needed add a pinch of salt and pepper. Finish the one pot meal by adding the stock and sprigs of thyme, bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover for 2 hrs.
- Lastly add the Romano beans and peas, salt and pepper to taste and garnish with a good handful of chopped fresh parsley. Bring the stew back to a boil and serve hot.
