Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
salt and pepper to taste
2 large stalks celery, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ½ teaspoons dried cilantro
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups dry lentils
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then gently place into the hot oil, and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef and set aside, reserving the remaining oil in the pot.

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large celery stalks, chopped
2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1 large onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
Six 14-ounce cans beef broth
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
2 cups (about 11 ounces) lentils, rinsed
1/3 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Add half of the beef and cook until brown, about 8 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of lentils. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture.
