Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces andouille sausage
• 1 pound stewing beef, cubed (bite-sized)
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1.5 cups long-grain white rice
• 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the andouille sausage (sliced into rounds) and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the cubed beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside with the sausage.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), chicken broth, rice, cajun seasoning, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Return the cooked sausage and beef to the pot, stirring to distribute evenly.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaves and taste for seasoning. Adjust with more salt or spice, if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions if desired.
