On high heat, brown the seasoned beef chuck cubes well in the fat; add to the stew pot.

In the same pan on medium, sweat the onions with a big pinch of salt about 5 minutes; add the garlic and cook about a minute.

- ¼ cup tomato paste

Add tomato paste, thyme sprigs, carrots, celery, sugar, black pepper and chicken broth to just cover.
