Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 3 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cups beef broth
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the beef cubes to the pot in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and saute until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Return the browned beef to the pot and add the carrots and potatoes. Stir to combine.
Pour in the beef broth, canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, and tomato paste. Stir well to deglaze the bottom of the pot.
Season with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, ground cumin, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer the stew for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish the stew with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy the spicy beef stew with your choice of bread or rice.
