Ingredients
- 1 lb Stew Beef
- 2-3 medium-sized Potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup dried fruits (raisins, apricots)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the Stew Beef with Salt and Pepper. Grill the beef for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the Olive Oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced Garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Add the cubed Potatoes, Beef Broth, and Dried Thyme. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the stew for 20-25 minutes, or until the Potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the sliced Grill Beef and dried fruits (raisins and apricots). Season with Salt and Pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
