Description
A hearty beef and vegetable stew that warms you up with every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup finely diced yellow onion
- 1 cup finely diced carrot
- 1 cup finely diced green bell pepper
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups diced baby gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon finely diced jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon beef bouillon powder
- 1–1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1–1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1–1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 (14 oz) can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add oil, onion, carrot, pepper, and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring often, until veggies start to soften, about 8 minutes.
- Push veggies to the sides and add beef in the center. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until mostly browned.
- Add tomato paste, diced potatoes, jalapeño, garlic, and all seasonings. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
- Lower heat to low. Pour in undrained tomatoes, chicken broth, and add the bay leaf. Scrape the bottom to release any browned bits. Press potatoes under the liquid, cover with a lid, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove lid, stir, and increase heat to medium. Cook uncovered for another 10 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot with flour tortillas and/or rice. Add lime wedges and fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
- 1: Baby gold potatoes can be substituted with other small potatoes.
- 2: Serve with flour tortillas or rice for a complete meal.
- 3: For a thicker stew, allow more time for the liquid to reduce.
