Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Place a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and brown the meat to sear, working in batches without crowding the pan. Set the meat aside.

Add all the veggies except the potatoes to the pot and saute for about five minutes.

Add the meat back to the pot and add the potatoes.

Add the stock, herbs, garlic and salt and pepper. Stir well.

Cover the pot with a lid and place in oven for one and a half hours, stirring occasionally.

Serve hot with your favorite bread.
