Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb beef, cut into bite-sized pieces Choose cuts known for slow cooking like chuck or brisket.
2 cups mixed vegetables (like carrots, bell peppers, and peas) Feel free to use any vegetables on hand.
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, grated
2 tbsp olive oil For sautéing.
1 cup beef broth Water or vegetable broth can be substituted.
1 tbsp soy sauce Use gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free dish.
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
to taste Salt and pepper
to taste Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or cilantro)

Method

Preparation

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef pieces. Brown the beef on all sides.
Sprinkle the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper over the beef, stirring to coat evenly.
Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet, followed by the beef broth and soy sauce. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a gently boil, then reduce the heat. Cover the skillet and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

This dish is versatile and can be served over rice, mashed potatoes, or fresh greens. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and it freezes well for up to 2-3 months. Maximize tenderness by choosing the right cuts of beef and not rushing the browning step.
