Instructions
Creating Beef and Chorizo Stew is a straightforward process. Just follow these steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and chop vegetables as needed.
2. Brown the Beef: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and season with salt and pepper. Brown the beef on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
3. Cook the Chorizo: In the same pot, add the chorizo slices and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside with the beef.
4. Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Sauté the onion, garlic, carrots, and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Add Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the browned beef and chorizo to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes (with juices), beef broth, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano. Stir well to combine.
7. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
8. Taste and Adjust: After 1 hour, taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes, if desired.
9. Garnish: Once the stew is thickened and flavors are well combined, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
