Ingredients:
Step 1: Brown the Meat
Start this heartwarming stew by heating some vegetable oil in a dutch oven over high heat. You’ll want to brown the beef in batches, ensuring every piece has a beautiful caramelized exterior. This is not just about the flavor—it's about sealing in those juices to keep the beef succulent. Once browned, set the beef aside. In the same pot, you'll then sauté the onions until they are golden, soaking up all the beefy goodness left behind.
Pro Tip: Pat the beef dry before browning for the best texture.
Step 2: Simmer the Stew
After returning the beef to the pot along with any accumulated juices, you'll add the broth and diced potatoes. Season with salt, and bring everything to a rolling boil before lowering the heat to let it simmer. The magic happens here as the potatoes start breaking down, thickening the stew into a hearty concoction. It’s during this time that the flavors meld together, creating a tapestry of warmth and comfort.
Pro Tip: Simmer on a low heat to ensure the meat becomes tender.
Step 3: Enhance with Green Chile and Veggies
As the stew thickens and the beef tenderizes, it’s time to introduce the green chiles, tomatillo salsa, and red bell pepper into the mix. These ingredients bring vibrant colors and a depth of flavor that elevates the stew. The added vegetables cook down, releasing their moisture and unique tastes, making the stew not only visually appealing but incredibly aromatic and flavorful.
Pro Tip: Use roasted green chiles for an enhanced flavor.
Step 4: Serve and Garnish
The final flourish comes with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro just before you're ready to serve. Ladle the steamy stew into bowls and add your favorite toppings. A dollop of sour cream, some crunchy tortilla chips, and a sprinkling of fresh onion or additional cilantro can transform each bowl into a custom creation. It’s a marvelous way to end the day, gathering around the table to savor each spoonful of this comforting stew.
Pro Tip: Experiment with toppings to find your perfect combination.
