Ingredients

Scale

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
3 pounds boneless chuck roast, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 large onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons flour
2 ½ cups beef broth
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 sprigs thyme
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
1 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into pieces
½ cup chopped parsley

Instructions

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook turkey bacon until browned, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Season beef with salt and pepper. Brown the beef in batches on all sides, about 1–2 minutes per side. Reserve the browned beef.
Reduce heat to medium; add more oil if needed. Sauté onions until beginning to brown, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
Stir in flour and tomato paste; cook briefly before adding beef broth while scraping up browned bits from the pot.
Add remaining broth, brown sugar, salt, pepper, thyme sprigs, browned beef, and reserved turkey bacon. Bring to a boil.
Cover and simmer for an hour. Then add carrots and potatoes; cover again until everything is tender—about another hour.
If necessary, thicken by boiling uncovered or using a flour slurry. Adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
Stir in chopped parsley just before serving.
