THE ULTIMATE BEEF STEW

by Jean Gustave Sano

Have you ever pondered over something that could complement just about anything? I'm talking about pairing it with rice, pasta, potatoes, fries, or even bread, among other options. If you haven't, I'm here to help! During my childhood, my mother would frequently prepare this marvelous stew for us, and it swiftly became my favorite. Bursting with flavor and remarkably simple to prepare, it's now my go-to dish for lazy cooking days!

INGREDIENTS: 

- Beef Stew Meat

- Vegetable Oil

- Butter

- Tomato Paste

- Veggies (red onions, bell peppers)

- Seasonings (paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, crushed red pepper, steak seasoning, salt) 

 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut your beef in little cubes (if not cut already).

2. In your pot add a generous amount of oil (4-6oz) and let it heat at at least 375°. Cook on medium-high heat.

3. Now add the beef stew in your pot.

4. Once the beef stew start cooking, it will generate some water while turning brownish, go ahead and add a little bit of more water and let it simmer until all the water drains.

5. Once the water drains, check if the meat is well cooked and tender. If that’s not the case, go ahead and add a little bit of water, let it cook and drain again.

6. Now that the meat is well cooked and tender, drain the oil and leave just a little to cook veggies.

7. Go ahead and add you veggies and your seasoning.

8. Once the veggies caramelize, add a little bit of water, let it simmer until the water drains.

9. Now go ahead add butter (1/4 block).

10. Now add tomato paste. Mix and let the tomato paste cook until it darkens and you can smell it. This tells you that it is well cooked.

11. Now add some water to your mix and check the sauce thickness to your preference. Now let it simmer until it boils and reduce heat to low for another 10 minutes.
ENJOY!!😋
