How to Make Polish Stew

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Brown on all sides for about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 4 cups beef broth, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) before serving.
