Beef stew with Broccoli

Main courses Recipes

A few years ago I visited Coa Asian restaurant in the center of Prague. I had their beef and beans. It was so good I had to try to do it at home. In this recipe, I use beef chuck – which is ideal for stewing. I marinate the meat overnight and then stew it until it’s tender. It usually takes about 2 hours. I know, it’s quite long, but trust me – it’s worth it 🙂

I recommend using a soy sauce with less sodium; the dish won’t be too salty then. You can use whatever vegetables you like, just add it until the meat is completely tender. That will make it slightly al dente 🙂

Ingredients:

  • 400 g beef chuck, diced
  • 3-4 tbsp soy sauce
  • olive oil
  • freshly grounded pepper
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 250 ml broth
  • 1 small broccoli, trimmed down to small bite-size pieces
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into sticks
  • 1 carrot, cut into sticks
  • jasmine/basmati rice

Instructions:

  1. First of all, place the beef cubes in a small bowl.
  2. In a mixing bowl whisk olive oil, soy sauce, and freshly ground pepper together.
  3. Mix it with the meat and leave it in the refrigerator at least a few hours to marinade.
  4. Then heat olive oil in a large pan and add chopped onion. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent the onion from browning. Fry until translucent about 5-7min.
  5. Add marinated beef and increase the heat. Brown the meat from all sides for about 5 minutes.
  6. Now reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the rest of the marinade and pour in the broth.
  7. Cover with a lid and simmer slowly for about 2 hours.
  8. When the meat is tender stir in vegetables. Stew it for about 10 minutes. Make sure the vegetables are not overcooked and just firm to the bite.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. You can serve it with rice.

Enjoy 🤗🥩
