Description

A rich and flavorful beef stew with sofrito and vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
  • 1 cup sofrito
  • 1 packet sazón with achiote
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup green olives

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season beef with adobo and brown in batches until golden. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add sofrito and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the sazón and tomato sauce and cook for 2 minutes to combine flavors.
  4. Return beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth to cover. Add bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low for 1 hour.
  5. Add carrots, potatoes, and olives to the pot. Simmer uncovered for another 30 to 40 minutes, until vegetables are tender and broth has slightly thickened.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove bay leaves and serve hot with rice or bread.
