Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound beef stew meat cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour optional, for thickening
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
  4. Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and add the corn, peas, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. If you prefer a thicker chowder, mix the flour with a little water to create a slurry and stir it into the chowder. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Stir in the milk or heavy cream and heat through, but do not boil. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
