Preparation
Sear the beef by melting 1 Tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef stew meat (12 oz) and sear on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the vegetables by adding 1 Tbsp butter to the same skillet. Stir in diced carrot (1 small), diced red onion (2 Tbsp), and diced celery (3 Tbsp). Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the chipotle peppers and tomatoes by stirring in chopped chipotle pepper (1) and diced tomatoes (½ can). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Braise the beef by returning the seared beef to the skillet. Pour in beef broth (2 cups) and bring to a simmer. Cover and let cook on low heat for 45-60 minutes until the beef is tender and the sauce thickens.
Finish with Parmesan by stirring in grated Parmesan cheese (4 Tbsp) and the remaining butter (1 Tbsp). Mix until fully incorporated.
Serve garnished with fresh parsley (1 Tbsp) and enjoy warm.
