Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 pounds beef stew meat (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 large yellow onion (finely diced)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 28 ounces diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 2 medium carrots (peeled and sliced into rounds)
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the beef stew meat to the pot and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato paste, and beef broth to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the pot, along with the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and bay leaf.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper, then bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove and discard the bay leaf.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot.
