  • Add chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, and carrot to the pot, cooking for 2–3 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
  • Add diced Yukon Gold potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and fresh thyme, stirring thoroughly.
  • Return browned beef to the pot, and bring to a gentle simmer to meld flavors.
  • Cover the Dutch oven and transfer it to a preheated oven set at 325°F (163°C) for 2 to 2½ hours.
