Notes

  • Make in a Dutch oven or large pot: I recommend browning the beef with onion in a bit of olive oil before adding everything into your Dutch oven. Bring everything to a boil, reduce it to low to simmer, and cook for 2 hours or the beef is fork tender.
  • Cook your stew slow on low heat to allow beef to tenderize, flavors to develop and meld together. Don't rush it.
  • Throughout cooking, taste your spicy beef stew as you go and adjust the seasoning and heat as desired.
