Instruções

1 - Prepare and Sear Meat:
Pat all meat pieces dry with kitchen paper. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear each meat type separately until browned all over, about 4-5 mins per batch. Remove and set aside.

In the same pot, add onions and garlic. Sauté until softened and golden, about 7 minutes. Then add carrots, parsnips, and potatoes and stir for 5 mins.
-
3 - Deglaze and Combine:
Add tomato paste and cook 2 mins. Pour in red wine (if using) to deglaze, scraping bottom to incorporate browned bits. Return all meats to the pot and add beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme.
-
4 - Simmer the Stew:
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer gently for 1.5 hours or until meats are tender and flavors meld.
-
5 - Season and Serve:
Remove bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Season stew with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well, ladle into bowls, and serve hot with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
