Ingredients

• 2 pounds buffalo stew meat
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 3 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 14.5-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• 4 cups beef or buffalo stock
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the buffalo stew meat in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear the meat on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove the meat and set aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the carrots and celery to the pot, cooking for 3-4 minutes to lightly soften the vegetables.

Step 6

Return the browned buffalo meat to the pot, along with the diced potatoes.

Step 7

Pour in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and beef or buffalo stock. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Add the dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir well.

Step 9

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Once the buffalo meat is tender and the flavors have melded together, remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

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