How to Make Beef With Potato Tagine
- **Prepare the Spice Mix:** In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons ground cumin, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside 1/3 of the spice mix.
- **Season the Beef:** Rub the remaining spice mix generously over 1.5 lbs of cubed beef chuck.
- **Brown the Beef:** Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a tagine or large, oven-safe pot over medium-low heat. Brown the beef cubes and 1 large chopped onion for 7 minutes, until lightly browned.
- **Simmer the Sauce:** Stir in 2 cups of water, 1 beef bouillon cube, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1/2 teaspoon of the reserved spice mix, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
- **First Simmer:** Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
- **Add Tomatoes and Potatoes:** Uncover the tagine. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes and another cup of water if needed. Sprinkle 2 lbs of small, quartered potatoes with the reserved spice mix.
- **Final Simmer:** Place the potatoes on top of the meat. Cover and cook for another hour, or until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
- **Serve:** Garnish with extra fresh parsley and cilantro before serving. Enjoy with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce!
