Soup

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 pound beef, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups beef broth or water
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • Salt, to taste

Directions

  1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent.
  3. Add the bite-sized beef pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides.
  4. Pour in the beef broth or water and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the diced carrot, potato, tomato, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine with the other ingredients.
  6. Season the stew with paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, and salt to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
  7. Let the stew simmer for about 1–1.5 hours or until the beef is tender and fully cooked. Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking of the beef and vegetables.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat and let the stew rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can add other vegetables like peas, corn, or green beans to the stew for added taste and nutrition.

For a richer flavor, you can use beef bone broth or add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the stew.

This stew can be made in advance and tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
