Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper. Brown the meat in batches until all sides are well-seared, then remove from the pot and set aside.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 90 minutes, or until the meat becomes tender.

After 90 minutes, add the cubed potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine.
