Ingredients
- 1 lb beef stewing cubes (chuck), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups beef stock or water
- 1 teaspoon fine salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Method
- Pat the beef dry and season with the salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in a single layer for 6 to 8 minutes, turning to color all sides, then remove to a plate.
- Lower the heat to medium, add the onion, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.
- Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, allspice, and thyme and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Return the beef and its juices to the pot and pour in the stock, stirring to combine.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to the lowest simmer, cover, and cook for about 1 hour 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fork-tender and the sauce is rich and reduced. Add a splash of water if it thickens too much.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve hot with rice, ground provisions, or dumplings.
