Large Stew Pot or Dutch Oven

INGREDIENTS

1.5 lbs Beef
1.5 lbs Potatoes - White
1 large Onion - chopped
1 clove Garlic - minced
2 boxes Beef Broth - 32 oz. each
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Tomato - diced
2 Tbsp Butter
1 Tbsp Paprika
1 tsp Black Pepper
Salt to taste
1 Tbsp Caraway Seeds - (optional)
2 Tbsp Cornstarch - (optional)
¼ Cup Water

INSTRUCTIONS

Chop the Beef into bite-sized cubes, leaving fat but discarding as much tendon tissue as possible. Fat will add flavor.
Brown the Beef on all sides in a large pot with Butter.
Add Onion and Garlic.
Sprinkle in Paprika, Pepper, and Caraway Seeds and stir until blended.
Add Broth, cover, and let simmer on low for about 2 hours, until the Beef softens.
Meanwhile, Peel and cube the Potatoes, and add to the stew.
Add Green Pepper and Tomato.
Simmer, covered, until the Potatoes are fork-tender. About another hour.
Taste – Add Salt as needed.
Mix Cornstarch with ¼ cup Water and pour into stew to thicken if desired.

Notes

Select a Beef Roast with some edge fat and good marbling. The fat will cook off and add a ton of flavor.
Carroway Seeds and Cornstarch (for thickening) are optional but highly recommended.
