Directions:

Heat oil or ghee in a large pot over medium heat.

Add beef cubes and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

In the same pot, add carrots, celery, cabbage and onion (if using). Sauté for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened. Add garlic and cook for one more minute.

Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the stock, add potatoes, herbs, and bay leaf.

Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1–1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Stir occasionally and add more stock if needed.

When you finish cooking, remove the bay leaf, adjust the salt, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
