Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 lb lean ground beef
- 1.25 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1.5 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp crushed bay leaf
- 2.5 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 cup beef broth
- 1.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 15 oz canned diced tomatoes
- 3 cup peeled and diced russet potatoes
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.75 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1.25 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
- 0.75 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for serving
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in onion, carrots, and celery; cook until slightly softened, 4–5 minutes.
- Add garlic, tomato paste, thyme, paprika, and bay leaf; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle in the flour; stir well and cook 1 minute to coat the mixture.
- Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire, and the diced tomatoes with juices; scrape up browned bits.
- Stir in potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in peas and corn; simmer 3–5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle into bowls and finish with chopped parsley.
Notes
Variation: Swap half the potatoes with diced sweet potatoes, or use green beans instead of corn. For a thicker stew, mash a few potato cubes right in the pot. To make it spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the paprika.
Serving/Storage: Serve with warm crusty bread or over rice. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months; reheat gently with a splash of broth if needed.
