Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound beef stew meat, cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • 1/2 fresh tomato, chopped
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 sprigs fresh parsley
  • 3 red potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can green beans, drained

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Dust the beef with the flour. Place the beef, garlic, bay leaves, and pepper in the stockpot; cook until the beef is brown; season with salt and cook until beef is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, green pepper, carrot, and paprika; cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato, wine, water, and parsley. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 30 minutes.
  2. Mix in the red potatoes, sweet potatoes, and green beans; continue to cook until potatoes are easily pierced through with a fork, about 45 minutes.
