An easy one-pot bean and beef stew. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 stalk celery, small dice |
2 carrots, peeled and small dice |
2 medium onions, peeled and small dice |
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced |
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and small dice |
1 lb lean stewing beef, cut into 1/2 inch cubes |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon orange zest, grated |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained |
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, with lid, heat oil over medium-high heat and saute celery, carrots, onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Cover and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring every now and then to make sure vegetables are not sticking.
2. Add meat to vegetables and brown slightly. Add cumin, orange zest and tomatoes; stir and cover pot and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add black beans and simmer, uncovered, for 15-30 minutes more, until stew is nice and thick.
4. Season to taste with pepper.
