Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast cut into 2-inch cubes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups broth
- 3 large tomatoes pureed
- 3 medium potatoes (russet), cubed
- 4 medium carrots chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Cilantro to garnish
Instructions
- Pat the beef dry with paper towels (crucial for a good sear).
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until deeply browned (3–4 minutes per side).
- Reduce heat to medium. Add onions and garlic, sautéing until soft (5 minutes).
- Stir in pureed tomato, cooking until sauce thickens (about 5 minutes).
- Season with salt and pepper
- Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot, then pour in the broth, then bring to a gentle boil.
- Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 45 minutes.
- Taste and adjust salt/pepper. Let the stew rest for 10 minutes before serving—this allows flavours to meld.
