Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
Brown Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef stew meat on all sides. This step seals in the juices and adds depth of flavor.
Prepare Gravy: To the browned beef, add beef broth, minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens and flavors meld, approximately 15-20 minutes.
Roast Potatoes: Meanwhile, toss the peeled potato chunks with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Combine Potatoes and Beef: Once roasted, add the potatoes to the skillet with the beef and gravy mixture. Stir gently to coat the potatoes thoroughly in the gravy.
Simmer Together: Let the combined mixture simmer on low heat for a few minutes to allow the potatoes to absorb the savory flavors of the gravy.
Serve: Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve the beef gravy potatoes hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

For a thicker gravy, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the simmering gravy.
Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture or Russet potatoes for extra crispiness.
To add more vegetable nutrients, consider adding carrots or onions to the gravy while simmering.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
