Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 2-inch cubes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef cubes with salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 2

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chunks in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer the seared beef to the crock pot.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, mixing it with the vegetables, and sauté for another 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the beef broth, soy sauce, and red wine vinegar to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Pour the skillet contents over the beef in the crock pot. Add the diced potatoes and chopped carrots on top.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the beef and vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Once fully cooked, stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Step 9

Serve hot with rice or crusty bread, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
