Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 pounds beef chuck, cubed
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 4 cups beef broth
• 15 ounces canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the beef chuck cubes with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then sear them in the pot until browned on all sides. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrots, celery, and cubed potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the pot, along with the canned diced tomatoes and beef broth. Stir well.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

After an hour, add the drained and rinsed kidney beans and black beans to the pot.

Step 9

Stir in the paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes, uncovered, to allow the flavors to meld and the broth to thicken slightly.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with crusty bread or tortilla chips on the side. Enjoy the game!
