Beef and carrots is the ultimate family dish. This meal simmers for hours, making the meat incredibly tender—you can cut it with a fork. The beef soaks up the flavors of the herbs and bay leaves in the dish.

I add lots of carrots because we love them; they turn out perfectly soft and flavorful.

It's a classic comfort food, just like our grandmothers used to make. This hearty dish is perfect for warming up and getting through the last days of winter and those chilly March showers.
