Herb-Studded Tomato Braised Beef on Stovetop

Photorealistic close-up of a savory roast beef braised in a rich, glossy tomato-herb sauce, resting in a heavy cast-iron skillet atop a live gas stovetop. The beef shows a deep brown crust with a tender, juicy interior visible where sliced, all bathed in thick ruby-red tomato sauce studded with garlic, onions, and fresh herbs. Fresh thyme, rosemary sprigs, and bay leaves float in the sauce; a drizzle of olive oil glints on the surface. Steam wisps curl from the pan as blue stove flames glow beneath. Rustic kitchen ambiance with warm amber lighting, parsley garnish, and a wooden spoon nearby. Emphasize texture: crusty exterior, succulent interior, chunky tomato glaze, and glossy sheen. Cinematic, ultra-detail, high-resolution.
