1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Allow it to warm for about 2 minutes.

2

Add the beef, searing each side until browned, which should take about 5-7 minutes total. This will give the meat depth of flavor.

3

Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside on a plate. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.

4

Add the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and diced tomato to the pot. Sauté these veggies together for an additional 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

5

Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, and stir in the cumin, paprika, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. This slow cooking will ensure the beef is tender and flavorful.

7

After 1 hour and 30 minutes, taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.

8

For a pop of freshness, consider garnishing with chopped parsley before serving.

• Add root vegetables like carrots or potatoes for a heartier stew.
• Mix in some olives for a briny twist.
• Try different spices like coriander or turmeric for an exciting flavor profile.

• For extra depth, consider adding a splash of red wine to the pot while browning the beef.
• Serve with warm crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
• If you want a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the stew during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
