Directions:


1.- To prepare this Easy Beef Stew Recipe start by chopping the onion, shallot, and peppers. Then, thinly slice the garlic. Create a bouquet garni by tying together fresh rosemary, basil, thyme, sage, and Greek oregano with kitchen string or butcher's twine.




2.- In a large 12-quart stock pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped vegetables and herbs, along with the bay leaf, for about 4 minutes. Then, add the beef to the pot and sauté everything together for an additional 4 minutes. Deglaze the pot by adding a splash of red wine.





3.- Next, stir in a jar of marinara sauce and add the two cups of water. Season the stew with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar, adjusting the seasoning as needed.




4.- Cover the pot with a lid and simmer over medium-low heat for approximately 1 hour.
