Hearty Portuguese Beef Stew
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound beef stew meat, cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • 1/2 fresh tomato, chopped
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 sprigs fresh parsley
  • 3 red potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can green beans, drained
Instructions
1
Preheat the stockpot over medium-high heat by warming up the oil.
2
Sprinkle a light dusting of flour evenly onto the beef cutlets to create a coating.
3
Carefully place the seasoned beef, minced garlic, dried bay leaves, and ground black pepper into the preheated stockpot.
4
Allow the beef to sear until it reaches a rich brown color, then sprinkle with salt to enhance its flavor. Continue cooking the beef until it reaches a tender state, approximately 5 minutes.
5
Add sliced onions, chopped green peppers, grated carrots, and a pinch of paprika to the stockpot.
6
Allow these vegetables to soften slightly, around 5 minutes, before adding a can of crushed tomatoes, a glass of red wine, water, and chopped parsley to the mixture.
7
Cover the stockpot with a lid and gradually decrease the heat to medium-low.
8
Simmer the mixture for 30 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
9
Add diced red potatoes, sweet potatoes, and green beans to the stockpot.
10
Continue cooking until these vegetables can be easily pierced through with a fork, approximately 45 minutes.
