Equipment

  • 6 quart Dutch Oven or camp oven (or larger)

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs ground beef lean
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 1 cup celery 3 ribs; diced
  • 1 ½ cups carrots about 4; diced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic 1 tbsp fresh; minced
  • 1 ½ tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 4 russet potatoes large; cubed
  • 1 lb green beans trimmed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 6 oz tomato paste
  • 1 cup peas
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the Dutch oven over medium high heat; once hot crumble in the ground beef.
  • Once the beef is halfway cooked, add in the onions, celery, carrots, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce; mix well and cook until the beef is done.
  • Add in the potatoes, green beans, broth, and bay leaves. Stir to thoroughly mix everything together. Remove 1 cup of the broth and set aside.
  • Bring to a boil for 10 minutes or until the vegetables, especially the potatoes are fork tender. The liquid will begin to reduce.
  • While the stew is boiling, add the tomato paste to a medium bowl and whisk in the reserved broth until smooth.
  • Once the vegetables are cooked through, reduce the heat to medium and completely stir in the smoothed tomato paste.
  • Mix in the peas and parsley; allow to cook at a low simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, serve, and enjoy.
