Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 carrots, sliced

2 celery stalks, chopped

4 cups beef broth

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices

2 potatoes, diced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

1 package (12 oz) potato gnocchi

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sear the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear the beef for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion is translucent.

      Combine Ingredients: Return the seared beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes (with juices). Stir in the diced potatoes, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a boil.

        Simmer the Stew: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the stew simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally.

          Cook the Gnocchi: In the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, stir in the potato gnocchi. Cook according to the package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes) until they float to the top and are tender.

            Adjust Seasoning: Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs to your liking.

              Serve: Ladle the hearty stew into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
