Summary: Why make a regular beef stew when you can make an Italian version with more flavor? I’m telling you though, this stew is completely delicious, amazingly filling and I think it’s fair to say it passes as a healthy meal your whole family will love. And the beef, it’s the best part. That slow and low cooking makes it unbelievably tender.

- 4 medium carrots, chopped into 1/2-inch thick pieces (2 cups)
