Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 3 cups beef broth
- 15 ounces canned black beans
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 medium lime
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the red bell pepper. Add them to the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, and smoked paprika over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) and beef broth to the slow cooker. Stir everything to combine.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender.
About 30 minutes before the cooking time is complete, drain and rinse the canned black beans and add them to the slow cooker along with the frozen corn. Stir well and cover again to finish cooking.
Season the stew with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Just before serving, squeeze the juice of the lime into the stew and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for added brightness.
Serve the Mexican stew hot, with optional toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or tortilla chips, if desired.
