Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean beef stew meat
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 large Celery stalks, sliced
• 1 large Red bell pepper, diced
• 3 medium Potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 400 grams Canned diced tomatoes
• 4 cups Low-sodium beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the lean beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the browned beef back to the pot, along with the potatoes, canned diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir everything together.

Step 6

Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and bring to a boil.

Step 7

Add the paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the liquid reduces too much, add a splash of water or extra beef broth.

Step 10

Serve the spicy beef stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
