Total time: 2 h 20 min
Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 lbs stewing beef, cut into cubes; 1 large onion, diced; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 4 carrots, peeled and sliced; 3 celery stalks, chopped; 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes; 4 cups beef broth; 1 cup red wine (optional); 2 tbsp tomato paste; 2 tsp smoked paprika; 1 tsp dried thyme; 1 tsp dried oregano; Salt and pepper, to taste; 2 tbsp olive oil; Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot, and brown on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the carrots, celery, diced tomatoes (with juices), beef broth, red wine (if using), tomato paste, smoked paprika, thyme, and oregano. Stir everything together.
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. If the stew is too thick, you can add more beef broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
Once the beef is fork-tender and the flavors have melded together, remove the pot from the heat. Serve the Boot Kickin Cowboy Stew hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
