• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and sear on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the beef to the crock pot.

Step 2

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add this mixture to the crock pot.

Add the carrots, potatoes, red bell pepper, and canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the crock pot.

Step 4

Sprinkle the paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the mixture in the crock pot.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, ensuring it coats the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Pour the beef broth into the crock pot and add the bay leaf. Stir to combine everything.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
