Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef stew meat
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 large Celery stalks, sliced
- 1 large Red bell pepper, diced
- 3 medium Potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 400 grams Canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups Low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the lean beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the browned beef back to the pot, along with the potatoes, canned diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir everything together.
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and bring to a boil.
Add the paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the liquid reduces too much, add a splash of water or extra beef broth.
Serve the spicy beef stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
