Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spanish Beef Stew Delight.
Step 1
To start your delicious beef stew, grab a large mixing bowl and toss together the beef chuck pieces with flour, kosher salt, and black pepper until they’re evenly coated.
Step 2
Next, heat some olive oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is shimmering, add half of the coated beef pieces to the pot.
Step 4
Sear them for about 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally until they’re beautifully browned on all sides.
Step 5
Once done, remove the beef and set it aside.
Step 6
Repeat this process with the remaining beef, ensuring each piece gets that lovely golden crust.
Step 7
With all the beef browned, it’s time to bring it back to the pot.
Step 8
Lower the heat to medium and gently scrape up any tasty browned bits stuck to the bottom—these add incredible flavor to your stew! Now, add in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes along with their juice, crushed tomatoes, chopped onions, carrots, bell peppers, and minced garlic.
Step 9
Sprinkle in the sweet and smoked paprika, oregano, and toss in a couple of bay leaves.
Step 10
Give everything a good stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 11
Once boiling, cover the pot and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
Step 12
Let your stew bubble away for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally to keep everything from sticking to the bottom.
Step 13
This is the perfect time to relax and let those wonderful aromas fill your kitchen! After the 2 1/2 hours have passed, stir in the frozen green peas and sliced olives.
Step 14
Cover the pot again and let it simmer for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 15
Before serving, don’t forget to fish out the bay leaves—they’ve done their job! Now, ladle your hearty stew into bowls and enjoy it warm, savoring every comforting bite.
Step 16
This stew is not just a meal; it’s a warm hug in a bowl!.
