Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 medium Carrots
- 14.5 ounce can Diced tomatoes
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 4 ounce can Canned green chiles
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 Lime
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into 1.5-inch cubes and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer seared beef to the crock pot.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Dice the red bell pepper. Peel and cut the russet potatoes and carrots into bite-sized chunks.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened, then transfer them to the crock pot along with the red bell pepper, potatoes, and carrots.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, and canned green chiles to the crock pot.
Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Stir in freshly chopped cilantro and squeeze the juice of one lime over the stew just before serving for a bright, fresh finish.
Serve warm. Enjoy with warm tortillas or crusty bread, if desired.
