Indulge in our Hearty Beef & Chorizo Stuffed Pepper Stew, a cozy comfort classic with rich flavors and indulgent ingredients.
Ingredients
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • beef chuck, cubed: 1 pound
- • chorizo sausage, sliced: 8 ounces
- • large red bell peppers, chopped: 3
- • onion, finely chopped: 1
- • garlic cloves, minced: 4
- • beef broth: 4 cups
- • crushed tomatoes: 1 can (14 ounces)
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • dried oregano: 1 teaspoon
- • salt and pepper to taste
- • heavy cream: 1/2 cup
- • cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • fresh parsley, chopped: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sear until each side is browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
- 2 In the same pot, add the chorizo slices and cook for about 3 minutes until they start to brown and release their oils. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
- 3 Return the beef to the pot, then add the chopped bell peppers. Pour in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine.
- 4 Season the stew with smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- 5 After an hour, stir in the heavy cream, allowing the stew to thicken slightly. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
- 6 Before serving, sprinkle the stew with shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Hearty Beef & Chorizo Stuffed Pepper Stew pairs beautifully with a side of crusty bread, perfect for soaking up every last drop of its rich broth. Alternatively, serve it over a bed of fluffy rice or creamy mashed potatoes for an added layer of comfort. To complement the stew's bold flavors, consider a robust red wine or a chilled beer with smoky undertones. For a fresh contrast, a simple green salad with a light vinaigrette offers a refreshing counterpoint to this indulgent stew. Whether shared among friends or enjoyed as a solo treat, this stew promises to elevate any meal into a cozy, satisfying feast.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, allow the stew to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze the stew in individual portions for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight (if frozen) and warm gently on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Add a splash of beef broth if needed to loosen the consistency.
