Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of garlic and onion infused olive oil over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaf, cooking for another minute.

5. 5

   Return the beef to the pot and add the carrots, potatoes, and beef broth. Bring to a boil.

6. 6

   Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

   In a small bowl, mix the corn starch with cold water until smooth. Once the stew is done simmering, stir the corn starch mixture into the stew.

8. 8

   Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring periodically until the stew has thickened.
