Step-by-Step Method
Prepare and seal the meat
Dry the beef cubes with paper towels. Heat the pot, add the olive oil and sear the meat, batch by batch, in a single layer over high heat. When the outside of the meat acquires color, transfer it to a plate.
Sauté the onion and garlic
Add the onion to the same pot, stir for 5-6 minutes until it softens. Add the garlic, stir for 30-40 seconds until fragrant.
Add flour and spices
Sprinkle the flour into the pot and fry for 1 minute; This step assembles the sauce. Add thyme, rosemary and bay leaves and stir briefly.
Cook for a long time on low heat
Return the sealed meat to the pot. Add enough water or broth to cover very lightly (start with 1/2 cup and adjust as it cooks, if necessary). When it boils, reduce the heat, close the lid and cook slowly for about 90 minutes.
Add the carrots and soften
Add the carrots to the pot and cook for another 25-30 minutes. If the meat falls apart easily and the carrots become soft, the consistency is ready; You can add some more water if necessary.
Final touch and service
Remove bay leaves. Add parsley and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. Serve hot; It goes well with bread or mashed potatoes.
