Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef (stew meat, cut into cubes)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and chopped)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups beef broth (preferably homemade)
  • 2 carrots (sliced)

Spices and Oils

  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method

Preparation

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Notes

For even more flavor, consider adding bay leaves or herbs like rosemary during cooking. If you like a thicker stew, you can mash a few sweet potato pieces before serving to give it a creamier texture. Don’t rush the cooking process; letting it simmer longer will deepen the flavors.
