Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 medium Carrots
• 14.5 ounce can Diced tomatoes
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 4 ounce can Canned green chiles
• 2 teaspoons Cumin
• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 Lime

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck roast into 1.5-inch cubes and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer seared beef to the crock pot.

Step 3

Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Dice the red bell pepper. Peel and cut the russet potatoes and carrots into bite-sized chunks.

Step 4

In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened, then transfer them to the crock pot along with the red bell pepper, potatoes, and carrots.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, and canned green chiles to the crock pot.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and vegetables are cooked through.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Stir in freshly chopped cilantro and squeeze the juice of one lime over the stew just before serving for a bright, fresh finish.

Step 9

Serve warm. Enjoy with warm tortillas or crusty bread, if desired.
