Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 0.5 cup green olives, pitted and halved
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into 1.5-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and black pepper.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches, ensuring not to crowd the pan, and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, paprika, and turmeric to the onions. Stir frequently for about 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the diced tomatoes and beef broth to the pot, scraping any browned bits off the bottom.
Return the beef to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover with a lid and let it gently simmer for about 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
After 1.5 hours, add the diced zucchini, chopped bell pepper, and halved olives. Stir well to combine.
Continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes uncovered, or until the beef and vegetables are tender, and the sauce has thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.
Serve the tagine hot, optionally garnished with additional parsley.
