Ingredients

Directions

1. Heat the avocado oil in an 8-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. On my stove, that’s about a 6.
2. Add the stew meat and brown it in the avocado oil, stirring constantly.
3. Add the first portion of water, the chopped onion, and the diced tomatoes.
4. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 30 minutes.
5. Stir in the salt and pepper, minced garlic, chili powder, and beef broth.
6. Add the vegetables in this order: baby carrots, bell pepper, and potatoes.
7. Pour in the second portion of water. The liquid should cover the vegetables.
8. Bring the stew to a boil.
9. Cover, but crack the lid, and cook on medium heat for 40 minutes.
10. Remove the Dutch oven from the heat. Let the stew rest for 20 minutes before serving.

Smaller batches may cook differently. Check the beef and vegetables for tenderness before serving. Use a pot appropriate for the selected batch size.
