Kettle beef is a classic recipe that is easy to make and packed with flavor. It's a perfect option for a comforting family dinner or a special occasion. The key to success is to use a good cut of beef, such as chuck roast, and to be patient while it cooks.
Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds beef chuck roast trimmed and cut into 2-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine

- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 2 cups diced celery
- 2 cups diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion and garlic to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the beef broth, red wine, carrots, potatoes, celery, tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the beef back to the pot.
