Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 medium carrots (sliced into 1/2-inch pieces)
• 2 large russet potatoes (peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes)
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 cup peas (frozen or fresh)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef cubes with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Sauté the diced onion until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, turmeric powder, smoked paprika, and ground cumin, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Mix in the tomato paste, cooking briefly before deglazing the pot with 1 cup of beef broth, scraping the bottom to release any brown bits.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the carrots, potatoes, the remaining 3 cups of beef broth, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 8

Add the peas to the stew during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaves before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or over rice, if desired.
