Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 diced medium onion and 3 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/2 tsp ground coriander. Cook for 1 minute until spices are aromatic.

  5. Step 5: Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld and sauce thickens.
