Tender Braised Beef Stew You’ll Crave Again and Again

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add beef stewing pieces in batches and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables:
In the same pot, add chopped onion, red pepper, green pepper, and garlic. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened.

Season:
Stir in paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add tomato paste (if using) and cook for another minute to bring out the flavors.

Simmer the Stew:
Return beef to the pot. Crumble in the bouillon cube and pour in water or broth. Stir to combine.

Cook Low and Slow:
Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful.

Adjust Seasoning:
Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving.
