In a big pot, warm up the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper and add the cubed beef. Sear the beef until browned on all sides, then remove from the pot and set aside.
Saute The Aromatics
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the same pot. Saute for 3–4 minutes, or until melted and aromatic.
Add The Vegetables
To the pot, add the diced potatoes and cut carrots. Simmer the vegetables for an additional five minutes, or until they are slightly tender.
Combine Ingredients
Return the seared beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, water, diced tomatoes (with juices), tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir to combine.
Simmer
After bringing the stew to a boil, turn down the heat. Once the vegetables are thoroughly cooked and the beef is soft, cover and simmer for one and a half to two hours.
