Ingredients for Beef Vegetables

  • Top Sirloin Steaks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Onion
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Bay Leaf
  • Tomato Paste
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Beef Bouillon Cube
  • Ground Cumin
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Ground Ginger

How to Make Beef Vegetables

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lbs of beef steak, cut into 1-inch cubes, and 1 large onion, chopped.
  2. Brown the beef on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cups of beef broth or water to the pot.
  4. Stir in 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
  6. Add 1 cup of chopped carrots, 1 cup of chopped potatoes, 1 cup of chopped zucchini, and 1/2 cup of chopped green beans (or your favorite vegetables).
  7. Cover and simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Serve hot over rice or couscous. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
