Page 108 of Christmas in Bayberry
Pour in the broth, scraping the bottom of the pot as you stir to loosen remnants of beef coating.
Cook until the mixture has thickened, about 3 minutes.
Return the meat and any accumulated juices back to the cast iron skillet.
Add the broth, bay leaves, and thyme and stir to combine.
Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.
Immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 1 hour.
While it’s simmering, cut the carrots, celery, and potatoes into large dice and, when it’s time, add them to the pot.
If adding peas, put them in at the same time.
Stir to combine, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables and meat are knife tender, about 1 hour more.
Thanks so much for reading Christmas in Bayberry. We hope you enjoyed it!
