Ingredients 

  • 1 tablespoon light flavored olive oil
  • pounds beef stew meat cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 cups beef broth divided
  • 1 large onion chopped into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, about 4 cups
  • 4 celery ribs sliced thin, about 2 cups
  • 4 carrots peeled and cut bite-size, about 3 cups
  • 15 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 8 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper adjust to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, warm the oil over medium high heat. Add the beef and toss to coat. Cook for a few minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the onion, bay leaves, and 2 cups of beef broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and continue simmering over low heat until the beef is fork tender, about 1½-2 hours.
  • Add the potatoes, celery, carrots, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire, cabbage, and remaining 2 cups of broth. Stir to combine and cover to bring to a boil.
  • Reduce to a simmer, cover, and continue simmering over low heat until the potatoes are tender, about 20-30 minutes. Uncover, stir, and taste the stew. Add salt, only as needed.
