Ingredients
  

  • 0.68 kg beef chuck
  • 4 large carrots
  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 1 large onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  • In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, searing them until browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set it aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in the sliced carrots and diced potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then, add the thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well to combine.
  • Return the browned beef to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth, tomato sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce, sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or aluminum foil. Transfer it to the preheated oven and bake for 1.5 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together even more.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your warm, hearty beef and carrot casserole with crusty bread or a fresh salad!
