Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, diced onion
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 1 large, diced bell pepper
• 3 medium, sliced carrots
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 handful, chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck roast into approximately 2-inch cubes. Trim excess fat as needed.

Step 2

Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the beef cubes, searing each side until browned. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Step 4

Remove the browned beef and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the onions and stir for about 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 7

Return the beef to the pot along with any accumulated juices.

Step 8

Add the diced bell pepper and carrots. Stir to combine with the beef and onions.

Step 9

Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Stir the mixture and increase the heat to bring it to a simmer.

Step 10

Add the bay leaves, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir to incorporate the spices.

Step 11

Once the mixture reaches a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded.

Step 12

Check for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Step 13

Before serving, remove the bay leaves and sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the stew.

Step 14

Serve hot and enjoy this hearty Paleo-friendly dish with a side of cauliflower rice or steamed veggies.
