👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Season the beef cubes generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove the beef and set aside.
2
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a sauce. If using optional spices, add them now and stir for 1 minute.
4
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Return the browned beef to the pot.
5
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender. Stir occasionally.
6
Add the quartered potatoes and carrot rings to the pot. Stir to combine, cover, and continue to simmer for another 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.
