Units
Scale
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil, divided
- 1 lb (450g) beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 12 small or baby potatoes, quartered
- 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups (480 ml) beef stock
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 cup (240 ml) frozen peas, thawed
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Pat the beef tenderloin cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Add to the pot and sear on each side for a total of 3-4 minutes, until browned. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
- Add the remaining tbsp of olive oil to the pot. Add the diced onion and chopped garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Add the quartered potatoes and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the beef stock and add the chopped thyme and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Return the seared beef to the pot along with the peas. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the beef is heated through and the peas are tender.
- Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Notes
- For a more budget-friendly option, ask your butcher for the end cut or tail of the tenderloin.
- The stew can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently over low heat, adding more beef stock if needed.
- Serve with crusty bread and a fresh salad for a complete meal.
