How do you feel about meals that are prepared in just one pot? I just love them - they are perfect as in not only that there is also just one pot to clean, but also because once everything is put together and on the stove/slow cooker no additional cooking is needed. Well, okay maybe a side salad but that is it at least for me :)
So today I bring a hearty Pepper Beef Stew; full of succulent Italian sweet peppers, beef and rice. True comfort in a bowl and the entire family enjoyed this dish....
Here it is...
Pepper Beef Stew
- 2 lbs. beef stew {cubed}
- 2 Tbs flour
- pepper & paprika {generous}
- 1 Tbs Herbs de Provence
- splash of Olive Oil
- 1 lb. sweet peppers {I used orange & red}; sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 quart beef broth {I use Pacific brand}
- Salt
- 1-1/2 Tbs Balsamico Vinegar
- 1-1/2 C white rice
- 2 C spinach washed and roughly chopped
***Preheat oven to 375 F
- Mix flour with generous amount of pepper, paprika, and Herbs de Provence,
- Mix the beef with the flour mixture until all is covered, reserve any flour mixture not used
- Heat olive oil in a large pot that can transfer to the oven and when hot
- Add beef and brown from all sides. Be sure not to crowd the pot; remove and reserve when browned. Repeat until all beef is browned - Set browned meat aside, then
- Add onions; sauté for a couple of minutes until they begin to soften then
- Add peppers and sauté for another couple of minutes until fragrant. Be sure not to burn the vegetables; when onions are translucent and peppers are slightly soft,
- Return browned beef to the pot as well as any of remaining flour mixture. Stir beef under the vegetables then
- Add beef broth.
- Bring to a boil, cover and place the pot into the oven. Cook covered in oven for about 30 minutes before adding salt together with 1-1/2 Tbs of Balsamico. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes
- Add rice and cook for another 25 - 30 minutes Check on the rice after about 20 minutes and remove from the oven once rice is cooked through. NOTE: We like a lot of rice and a very thick stew; for a lighter stew reduce the amount of rice.
- Remove pot from the oven - top with the fresh roughly chopped spinach and cover pot. The dish is ready for serving after another couple of minutes and when the spinach has slightly wilted.
I hope you enjoy this stew as much as we did :) - Now be sure to check out all the other fantastic One Pot Recipes the rest of the #SundaySupper contributors are bringing to the table. You surely will find at least a couple that you must try...“Take the chill off” Chilis, Soups, and Starters
