A citrus, spicy version of a traditional ground beef stew I grew up eating. It's refreshing and very filling. Can be served over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 carrots, diced
4 ribs celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
4 potatoes, chopped
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1 cup frozen cut green beans
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon adobo all-purpose seasoning (such as Goya®)
⅛ teaspoon dried rosemary
⅛ teaspoon ground thyme
1 pinch dried marjoram, or to taste
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
1 cup water, or as needed
1 tablespoon beef base
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ lemon, juiced
1 bay leaf, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Crumble ground beef into a stockpot set over medium-high heat; add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease except 1 tablespoon of drippings.
  • Stir carrots, celery, onion, and garlic into the ground beef and drippings; cook and stir until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, diced tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, peas, corn, green beans, adobo seasoning, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram; stir until evenly mixed. Add beer, water, and beef base; stir well. Stir in cilantro, lemon juice, and bay leaf. Pour 1/4 cup more water over the mixture if needed to moisten mixture, replenishing as needed while cooking.
  • Bring soup to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring regularly, until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stew turned out watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out perfect! The meat was fall-apart tender and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy.

I made this stew last night and it was delicious! The only thing I changed was that I added a little bit of extra chili powder for some extra heat.
