    recipe

    Instructions

    1

    Brown the Meat:
    Heat Bella Del Sol high oleic sunflower oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
    Add the cubed beef and season with salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat and set aside.

    2

    Sauté the Vegetables:
    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

    3

    Add Tomato Paste and Spices:
    Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, and dried thyme. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    4

    Combine Meat and Broth:
    Return the browned meat to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaf. Stir to combine everything well.

    5

    Simmer:
    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about 1 hour, or until
    the meat is tender.

    6

    Add Potatoes:
    Add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Stir gently to combine. Cover the pot again and simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and tender.

    7

    Adjust Seasoning:
    Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

    8

    Serve:
    Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

    Tips:
    For a thicker sauce, you can mix 1-2 tablespoons of flour with a little cold water and stir it into the stew about 15 minutes before it’s done cooking.
    This stew is great served with crusty bread or over rice.

    Enjoy your hearty stewed meat with potatoes!
